EBOOK. PREQUEL TO THE MAPLE LANE CULINARY COZY MYSTERY SERIES.
A Manhattan bakery, a boyfriend blunder, a combative contestant, and almost crushed by a body!
When a body lands at her feet, the death is literally too close to home for Maddie Flynn. The baker with more than a recipe or two up her sleeve is thrown into the investigation when things don't add up with the crime. With his uncanny sense of who is good and who isn't, even Big Red, her larger-than-life Maine coon, is seeing things in the shadows.
Not everyone is happy with her digging, so there’s a chance she may end up the next victim if she can’t solve the murder soon. And what does an angry contestant have to do with a kidnapping?
If you love Murder, She Wrote, you’ll enjoy Maddie’s style because she’s not taking no for an answer either.
The Maple Lane Mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a quirky cat-loving bakery owner who discovers she’s a talented amateur sleuth.
Each book contains an easy recipe!

The large ginger Maine coon sat huffily by the door glaring at her.
“I’ll see you right after work,” Madeline Flynn promised. “Then we’ll go for a long walk before it gets dark.”
Big Red slunk away to the small window and turned his back on her. It was 4 a.m., so there was little chance he could see anything outside, but as an adept sulker this was his go-to position.
To be fair, he had every reason to be fed up. Not only did she wake him with her early starts, he was also alone most of the day. The was what bothered her most. Big Red was a very social cat—when he wanted to be.
Maddie sighed, grabbed her thick coat, gloves, and scarf from the stand by the door, and left him to his bad mood. She paused on the small landing to wrap up tight and study the first door up the next flight of stairs.
Last night she’d heard muted voices in the apartment above her. It may have been her imagination, but she’d thought her neighbor was arguing with someone.
Cleo Black was polite when they occasionally saw one another and looked to be in her late twenties, the same as Maddie. Other than a brief hello, Cleo didn’t encourage conversation, and Maddie knew nothing about her except her name, that she was attractive and had a penchant for dark clothes.
The argument, if it was one, didn’t go on for too long, so there was probably nothing to worry about. Although, that never stopped her before.
Shaking her head at this need to fix things, she walked quickly through the darkened streets of New York, pushing down the flutter of anxiety.
The city was a long way from Maple Falls, the quiet hamlet where she’d been born and raised, and seemed like another world. From the amount of people to the smells and sights, it had been an assault on her senses for at least the first month after she moved here fresh out of college.
A few years on, she still missed all the green and quiet, but there was so much to see and do in a city this size. Things she never dreamed of.
