In the Northern California seaside town of Santa Sofia, a killer is trying to get a rise out of baker’s apprentice Ivy Culpepper . . .
Vincent van Dough focaccia is being touted on Instagram as the best thing since sliced bread. By strategically placing chives, olives, and yellow peppers to look like poppies and sunflowers, bakers create a mouthwatering masterpiece in the style of the great postimpressionist painter. At Yeast of Eden, where bread making has always been an art, they’re baking their own version for the school district’s Spring Fling.
But one person won’t be tasting the Mexican bakery’s latest specialty. Ambitious school board president Nessa Renchrik has been murdered. Like the rest of this close-knit community, Ivy is shocked. But she’s just as surprised to discover her beau—restaurateur Miguel Baptista—had his own fling with Nessa back in the day and now the police have this half-baked notion he might have killed her. It’s up to Ivy, her boss Olaya Solis, and eighty-six-years-young Penelope Branford to separate the wheat from the chaff to determine who the real culprit is . . .

Winnie Archer’s Death Gone A-Rye
Ivy Culpepper works in the Yeast of Eden’s
bread shop for Olaya Solis, owner, founder
and head baker. The shop is located in
Santa Sofia, California.
The shop is preparing its bake goods for
the school district Spring Fling where the
featured bread item will be the Vincent
van Dough focaccia.
While preparations are taking place the
President of the School Board ends up
dead and Ivy’s significant other becomes
the chief suspect.
Ivy begins her investigation to prove his
innocence.
Mix compelling characters, humor, secrets
from the past with a fast paced mystery plus
mouthwatering breads for a good read.
I enjoyed accompanying Ivy as she looked
into what really happened with her boss,
Olaya and her friend Penelope who happens
to be a youthful eighty-six years old.
I was happy that recipes were included at
the end of the story. Some of the recipes are:
Van Dough Focaccia Bread Art, Miguel’s
Savory Sausage, Kale and Potato Soup,
Olaya’s Hot Cross Buns and Rye Pumpernickel
Rolls.
Enjoy a puzzling mystery with delicious,
mouthwatering treats plus baking tips.
I volunteered to read Death Gone A-Rye.
It can be read as a stand alone as the author
provides enough backstory with the present.
