Murder by Sweet Donut

She came home with a new name, her grandmother's recipe tin, and seven years of patience. Then someone died eating her signature donut.
Seven years ago, pastry chef Camille Laurent was destroyed — framed for a poisoning at a glittering charity gala, her bakery ruined, her name buried, and a loss she's never spoken of out loud. Everyone believed the story. Camille knows who wrote it.
Now she's back in Maplewood Hollow as Camille Beaumont, owner of a charming little donut shop on Juniper Street. The maple brioche that ended her old life sits at the top of the menu. The town has no idea who she is. And the powerful family that orchestrated her downfall is about to learn that the storm they started never blew over. It just learned to bake.
But when a food critic drops dead at the festival dinner — killed with her own recipe — Camille realizes her framing was only the first course of something far bigger: a decades-old machine of buried scandals, stolen farms, and accidents nobody questioned. To expose it, she'll need a found family of the wronged, a sheriff who reads between the lines… and Grayson Mercer, the gruff cider maker who doesn't know what his family did to her — and can't stop looking at her like a locked door he's been through before.
Revenge is best served warm. With a maple glaze.
A culinary cozy mystery with slow-burn romance, small-town secrets, recipes worth stealing, and a heroine you'll never forget. Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Knives Out.
