After a messy divorce and a burned-out culinary career, Nora Appleby returns to the Vermont mountains to reopen her late aunt's charming Maplewood Inn. The grand re-opening is supposed to be picture-perfect - until one infamously harsh food critic drops dead after tasting her signature maple cream puff.
When the police suspect foul play (and Nora's pastries), she rolls up her sleeves and starts sleuthing with help from a gossip-loving neighbor, a flirty local sheriff, and a raccoon who steals more than just hearts.
As flour flies and secrets rise, Nora discovers that every guest has something to hide - and someone's cooking up more than just dessert.
Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Ellie Alexander, and V.M. Burns, Murder at Maplewood Inn is a charming whodunit filled with laughter, friendship, and sweet justice - with a sprinkling of recipes you'll want to try yourself
