About Macaroon Misfortune: A Small Town Baker with Dog Cozy Mystery

She can handle the heat in the kitchen—but a dash of murder wasn't in the recipe! When celebrity chef Anton Reynolds arrives in Maple Creek to judge the Spring Festival's dessert competition, Maggie Harper is thrilled to be selected as co-judge. With her beloved golden retriever Max by her side and her bakery The Sweet Pawtisserie thriving, life seems sweeter than her famous coconut macaroons.

But when Anton collapses after tasting one of Maggie's signature treats, suspicion falls directly on her doorstep—again! With her bakery closed and the town whispering, Maggie must prove her innocence before her reputation crumbles completely. As Maggie investigates, she uncovers a tangled web of stolen recipes, fraudulent investments, and long-simmering resentments.

The temperamental chef had collected enemies as easily as he collected accolades, and nearly everyone in town had a reason to want him gone. But who actually added the lethal ingredient to Maggie's macaroons? With help from her veterinarian boyfriend Tom, loyal golden retriever Max, and a cast of quirky Maple Creek residents, Maggie sifts through the clues.

But when threatening notes appear and another poisoning attempt occurs, it's clear someone wants to make sure Maggie's amateur detective career is permanently closed for business. Can Maggie catch the culprit before they cook up another murder? Or will she become the next victim of this deadly recipe?
