A Macaron to Die For: A Small Town New Zealand Cozy Mystery

About A Macaron to Die For: A Small Town New Zealand Cozy Mystery

In Willowby, even a sweet treat can turn deadly…Business is slow at the Velvet Scone Café, so when a local foodie influencer suggests a glamorous pop-up event, Tamsin Blake reluctantly agrees. The star attraction? Jean-Luc Bellamy, a dazzling French patissier with charm to spare—and a story that doesn’t quite add up.

From the moment he arrives, something feels off. Jean-Luc’s accent slips. His credentials are vague, and more than one person in Willowby seems unimpressed by his act.

As rumours swirl through the small town, it becomes clear the “world-class chef” was hiding far more than a secret recipe. With suspects piling up, Tamsin can’t resist digging deeper, even as Detective Cal Morgan warns her to stay out of it. But when blackmail, stolen identities, and a missing phone come to light, Tamsin realises the truth is far more dangerous than she imagined.
