A magician who made the big time returns to Loch Mallaig—and his life performs a vanishing act.
Las Vegas illusionist Ian Bathgate is returning to Loch Mallaig, Michigan, and Bread on Arrival bakehouse owners Carol MacCallan, Laura Donovan, and Molly Ferris soon learn that their friend and employee, Hamish Bruce, is embroiled in a decades-long feud with the magician—a fact that proves problematic when Ian dies dramatically during a performance and the police presume foul play.
Because of his rather public beef with Ian, Hamish immediately rockets to the top of the suspect list. Convinced Hamish could never kill anyone no matter how curmudgeonly he can be, Carol and her husband, Harvey, set out to set the record straight. As Carol searches for the mysterious murderer, the tense situation grows more and more dangerous until even former investigative journalist Harvey has misgivings about her risky methods. Can the killer be stopped before performing another fatal sleight of hand? Or will Carol’s life take an abracadeadly turn?
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.
