About the series

Comfort reads with a body in the cooler

Cedar Hollow is the kind of town where everyone knows your order and someone always knows more than they are saying. These are clean, cozy mysteries: no gore, low peril, a warm cast, and a slow-burn thread that never rushes. Fair-play plotting means the clues are always on the page, if you are paying attention. And because the bakery is the heart of every book, the truth tends to be hiding in a recipe.
