About Murder with a Side of Waffles: A completely unputdownable cozy culinary mystery

Spring has sprung in Willow Bluff, bringing with it blue skies, fresh bakes—and a hotly contested cooking competition. Residents are buzzing with excitement as they prepare to put their best dish forward. But someone will kill to win first prize… Celebrity chef Olivia Baker is in town to judge a local bake-off, and locals are polishing family recipes. But when Olivia’s critiques are as sharp as Honeybee Diner’s kitchen knives, tensions rise like oven-fresh biscuits. And head chef Jessie Haynes finds Olivia dead in her dressing room…With half the town furious at Olivia’s cutting comments, Jessie sees that every competitor had a motive. Was it baker Alana, whose banana bread went down like an over-proofed loaf? Or confectioner Susan, whose lemon tart left a bitter taste. Or could it have been Jessie’s own brother Travis, whose chicken and waffles failed to fly? Determined to get answers and clear her family’s name, Jessie digs into the secrets simmering beneath the town’s close-knit community. But when a member of the production crew is discovered dead, and a witness claims to have seen Travis acting shiftily, Jessie fears that her brother could have more than just flour on his hands…Can she put the pieces together before another person ends up on the chopping block? And if Travis is the killer, is Jessie in more danger than she thought? A totally gripping cozy mystery that oozes Southern charm.
