At Rise and Shine Donuts, Nora has spent eleven years perfecting maple bars, remembering every regular’s order, and trusting the comforting rhythm of small-town life. So when antique shop owner Walt Crimmins misses his usual six-fifteen maple bar and is later found dead at his desk, Nora knows something is terribly wrong. A plate of apple fritters that don’t fit his habits, a freshly washed mug in an office that never sees soap, and a trail of uneasy lies all point to one chilling conclusion: Walt’s death was no simple heart attack.
Warm, witty, and deliciously suspenseful, Maple Bar & Murder is a cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, neighborhood secrets, and mouthwatering donut-shop atmosphere. Perfect for readers who love clever amateur sleuths, food-themed mysteries, and whodunits where the smallest detail can crack the whole case wide open.
