Honey Cake and Homicide

A wedding singer. A mysterious death. And a cake catastrophe.

Maddie Flynn has dreamed of this day forever—finally marrying her childhood sweetheart. But before the vows can be spoken, a body is discovered in the unlikeliest of places, turning her wedding into a crime scene.

When one of the Girlz is accused of murder, the celebration is thrown into chaos. Maddie refuses to let her big day end in disaster. Alongside Gran, her loyal Maine Coon Big Red, and her soon-to-be husband—the town sheriff—she sets out to unravel the truth.

Between ruined cake, mounting tensions, and a killer on the loose, the clock is ticking. Can Maddie solve the case in time for "I do"… or will her happily-ever-after be lost before it begins?

🐾 The Maple Lane Mysteries serve up small-town sleuthing, culinary clues, and cat-loving charm—perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, twisty whodunits, and a whisker of mischief from Big Red.
