Doughnut Die: Murder in Crumbleton

By Eldric Emberwhisk

A cozy fantasy mystery featuring a retired dragon, a magical bakery, and a small-town murder - the first book in a charming new series.

In the village of Crumbleton, Donut the dragon has traded fire and treasure for flour and frosting. For two centuries, he's lived quietly as the town's most meticulous baker, serving croissants instead of scorching villages.

But when the mayor is found poisoned with a pie stamped with Donut's bakery seal, this peaceful town turns into a crime scene.

Now the prime suspect in a murder he didn't commit, Donut must rely on instincts he thought he'd buried long ago. With his overly enthusiastic assistant Pip at his side, he investigates a web of secrets, rivalries, and suspicious townsfolk - all while trying to keep his magical bakery from going up in flames.

Because in Crumbleton, everyone has something to hide.

And in a town this cozy, murder stands out.
