Poison and Pudding

Two retirees. A dead surfer. And an ill-fated bread pudding.

Starlight Ridge’s first annual surfing competition is right around the corner when retired sisters, Jo and Dorothy Darby, finally get settled into their new bakery. Not willing to miss out on the fun, they, along with the rest of the town, close up shop for the day to support their local surfing champion, Isaac Larson. Foam fingers included. But when Isaac’s arch-rival is flung off his board and never resurfaces, the competition grinds to a halt. Upon recovering the body, the local doctor discovers the fall was no accident. The man has been murdered. And all eyes are on Isaac as the culprit.

The town naturally turns to the Darby sisters to discover what really happened, considering the sisters’ history of solving murders, and expects them to exonerate their local hero.

Hesitant, Jo and Dorothy take on the seemingly impossible task. If they can’t discover who the real murderer is, though, a canceled surfing competition will be the least of Isaac’s problems, and the sisters will bear the town’s blame for it.

Poison and Pudding is the second book in the Seaside French Patisserie Mystery series. If you enjoy small towns, quirky characters, and unusual murders, you’ll love this cozy mystery.
