etirement sounded relaxing—until murder crashed the party.
Jo and Dottie Darby thought they were done with surprises. But when their sister unexpectedly dies and leaves them her souvenir shop-slash-bakery in the quirky coastal town of Starlight Ridge, the sisters find themselves waist-deep in kitschy seashells, stale flour, and one very confusing will.
There are just two small problems:
The store is a hoarder’s paradise in desperate need of a dumpster.
Neither Jo nor Dottie can bake to save their lives.
Enter Autumn Davis—a young woman with Paris-trained baking skills and an existential crisis to match. She’s their not-so-secret weapon for transforming the mess into a French-inspired patisserie.
Until the grand opening, when a local woman drops dead on the beach… and all signs point to the dacquoise she bought from Autumn earlier that night.
Now the Darby sisters must dust off their sleuthing skills and prove Autumn’s innocence before their fresh start crumbles like a day-old croissant.
Death and Dacquoise is the delightful first book in the Seaside French Patisserie Mystery series—a cozy blend of seaside charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and a deliciously twisty whodunit.
Perfect for fans of aging amateur sleuths, charming small towns, and mysteries served with a macaron on the side.
