About this audiobook

They arrested a seventy-year-old baker for murder. Eliza Hart has forty-eight hours to prove they're wrong. The food critic is dead. The poison was in the crust. And the whole village of Meadowford has already made up its mind — because everyone knows only one person at Butterfield Bakery could have prepared that signature tart. Grandma Hart. The bakery's beloved founder. The woman who taught Eliza everything she knows about pastry, patience, and people. Eliza watched her be led away in handcuffs, and now the display case feels cold and the flour-dusted apron feels like an accusation. She won't let this stand. But digging into the victim's past turns Meadowford into something darker than a small town with a grudge. The critic wasn't just writing scathing reviews — she was blackmailing half the village with a buried scandal someone has spent decades keeping quiet. And suddenly the pool of suspects goes from narrow to everyone. The rival patisserie owner whose reputation she shattered. The reclusive food photographer with a darkroom full of secrets. The town council member whose political ambitions rest on a very fragile lie. And a cast of regulars who all had reason to want that woman silenced — permanently. The killer knows Eliza is looking. They're not just watching — they're arranging the evidence, piece by piece, to make sure Grandma Hart takes the fall forever. Every crumb is a clue. Every friendly smile might be a knife. And the truth buried beneath the bakery's reputation could destroy the very family legacy Eliza is trying to save. Crumbs and Clues is a charming and twisty cozy mystery about small-town secrets, culinary rivalry, family loyalty, buried scandals, and a granddaughter who won't quit until justice is served. Perfect for readers who love culinary cozy mysteries, amateur female sleuths, grandmother-wrongfully-accused plots, village whodunits, and warm-hearted crime fiction in the tradition of Anthea Fraser and Rachel Ekstrom Courage. A twisty, cozy whodunit you'll devour in one sitting.
