Former big-city chef Clara Hayes expected a quiet life running her coastal bakery, but everything changes when a harsh food critic mysteriously disappears right after biting into one of her signature scones. Forced to put her baking utensils aside and step into the role of detective, Clara sets out to solve a perplexing crime in a misty Oregon seaside town. Guided by cryptic messages, old family recipes, and the reluctant help of her moody orange tabby cat, Barnaby, she must inspect foggy harbor docks, historic neighborhoods, and competitive local bakeries to piece together what really happened. The Secret Scone Solution offers an engaging mix of cozy mystery, delicious treats, and a determined amateur investigator who shows that unravelling the truth requires just the right ingredients.
