About this book:

Enter the charmingly idyllic village of Marigold Lane, a postcard-perfect English retreat where fresh baked goods and simmering rivalries are daily fare. But when newcomer Amelia Harper, seeking a quiet escape to open her bakery, finds herself thrust into the heart of a shocking incident at the annual bake-off, she quickly discovers that beneath the quaint facade lie secrets as bitter as burnt sugar. As suspicion falls on the wrong shoulders, Amelia must use her sharp eye for detail, honed in both kitchens and harder places, to uncover the truth and clear her name.

Join Amelia, the endearingly nosy Mrs. Palfrey, and the surprisingly insightful Constable Townsend as they navigate a tangled web of village gossip, long-held grudges, and hidden motives. From missing watch components and cryptic typewritten notes to a chillingly rare toxin, every clue adds a new layer to this complex mystery. Can Amelia expose the real culprit before they unleash their final, devastating plan, or will the sweet peace of Marigold Lane be forever shattered by a truly bitter ingredient?

Filled with delectable descriptions of baked goods, eccentric characters, and a plot that twists and turns like a winding country lane, Malice at Marigold Lane is a delightful cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last crumb. Perfect for fans of small-town intrigue and amateur sleuths with a taste for justice (and excellent pastries!).
