Scone Cold Murder

When a Bread on Arrival customer is murdered, the Bakehouse Three must determine which Loch Mallaig newcomers are friends – and which might be a killer.

Long-married Carol MacCallan is pleased to see a special sparkle in her friend Laura Donovan’s eyes when they meet Trent McKade, a handsome newcomer settling down in Loch Mallaig, Michigan, after years of travel abroad. Could he be the diamond in the rough Carol’s single friend has been looking for? Unfortunately, all that glitters isn’t gold, and Trent’s connection to the shocking murder of a Bread on Arrival customer clouds the bright future Carol envisions.

On the heels of the homicide, the Bakehouse Three are quickly swept up into a multifaceted web of international smuggling, corruption, and assassination. And just when they think the stakes can’t get any higher, a hidden menace targets Carol and her family. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Carol must make difficult decisions about which new friends she should trust—and which ones are enemies in disguise.

This clever whodunit from Annie’s Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, Scottish culture, and female friendships.
