In the quiet rhythm of Detroit’s Eastern Market, Nora Vess knows exactly what to expect—until one Saturday morning, everything changes.
When her longtime friend and fellow vendor, Rosa Pham, is found dead behind her bakery stall, the market’s familiar comfort turns unsettling. The official explanation doesn’t sit right with Nora. Rosa was meticulous, disciplined… and not the kind of woman to leave things unfinished.
As Nora begins to piece together the small details others overlook—a misplaced mixing bowl, ovens left running, a missing ingredient—she uncovers a trail that leads far beyond a simple accident. In a place built on trust, routine, and community, someone has broken the rules.
And Nora isn’t willing to let it go.
The Last Batch is a richly atmospheric cozy mystery about friendship, quiet determination, and the secrets hiding in plain sight.
