The Cookie Conspiracy

By Cynthia Rowan

When the town's most prestigious gala turns deadly, Vera discovers that some family recipes come with a side of murder.

Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Diane Mott Davidson

The Rolling Pin is thriving, and baker Vera Holloway has finally found her place in Sparrow Creek. So when she's invited to the exclusive Hartwell Founder's Day Gala, she's honored-until the wealthy hostess collapses after sampling a cookie laced with poison.

Trapped at the grand estate by a raging nor'easter, with no way to call for help, Vera and her detective boyfriend must unmask a killer among the stranded guests. The suspects? A disinherited nephew with gambling debts, a celebrated food scientist hiding dark secrets, and a housekeeper who knows where all the bodies are buried.

But when Vera uncovers a connection to a twenty-seven-year-old scandal her grandmother took to the grave-including a family member she never knew existed-she realizes this conspiracy runs deeper than anyone imagined.

With her cat Biscuit's keen nose and her own baker's instincts, Vera must sift through old rivalries before the killer strikes again.

A cozy mystery with a sprinkle of romance and a cat who always knows whodunit.
