Murder is on the menu in the sweetest contest of the year.
With the grape harvest finally behind them, Maggie and her partner Laurent are ready to relax in the quaint French village of Saint-Buvard. But when a high-profile pastry contest rolls into town—complete with celebrity judges and national pride on the line—things heat up fast.
The competition is fierce, the pastries are divine… and one contestant winds up dead.
When a close friend becomes the prime suspect, Maggie refuses to sit this one out. But proving her friend’s innocence means unearthing secrets, navigating rivalries, and staying one step ahead of a killer with a taste for revenge. With Laurent and her loyal dog by her side, Maggie will need to keep her cool—or risk landing in hot water herself.
Includes Laurent’s classic chocolate soufflé recipe!
