Murder at the Blackberry B&B Bake-Off
A Cozy Mystery

About this book:

Welcome to Blackberry Hollow, where the scones are warm, the blackberries are ripe, and the competition is killer. Innkeeper Abby Miller expects the annual Preserve Competition to bring a rush of guests and a dash of chaos to her cozy Victorian B&B—but she doesn't expect a pressure cooker of rivalries, secrets, and sabotage. When the reigning four-time Jam Queen, the imperious Violet Gable, checks in with her exhausted nephew in tow, the air thickens with more than just the scent of simmering fruit. Between a ruthless corporate entrepreneur circling for a buyout, a fiery forager with a grudge, and a celebrity food blogger hunting for scandal, every contestant has a motive to see the competition curdle.

As the thermometers rise and the pectin sets, Abby finds herself stirring a pot far more dangerous than fruit and sugar. A whisper of forbidden berries from protected land, a stolen blue ribbon, and a clandestine meeting in the orchard after dark suggest someone is willing to break every rule in the book—and maybe a few bones—to claim the crown. With her sharp-tongued head cook Tabitha at her side and the ever-charming berry farmer Ethan watching her back, Abby must sift through crumbs of evidence, overboiled alibis, and a pantry full of lies before the final judging.
