Just Desserts and Murder LP: A Temperance Matthews Cozy Mystery [Large Print]

By Lucinda Race

In Oak Hollow, every recipe comes with a dash of mystery...

Temperance Matthews thought opening her dream bakery in Oak Hollow-with her mini dachshund, Hank, at her heels-would be a sweet start to her new life. Instead, her shop goes up in flames, and a body is found among the ashes.

When her quiet assistant Louise shows up bruised, with twigs in her hair, and missing a shoe, Temperance's data-analysis skills from her FBI days suddenly feel like the only hope of untangling the mystery. But the plot thickens: Jonah, the bakery's former owner, is stabbed while trying to reach Temperance. The frosting on the cake? Louise's boyfriend is the victim of the fire. Surveillance footage shows him entering through a locked back door-yet only three keys exist, and Louise doesn't have one.

With threats mounting and the police closing in on a suspect, Temperance must follow a trail of half-baked clues before the real culprit turns her cozy little town into a crime scene... and who becomes the next target.

Just Desserts and Murder is book 1 in the exciting new Little Bakery Cozy Mystery Series featuring Temperance Matthews. Each book can be read as a standalone.
