Murder at the Magnolia Cafe: A Cozy Mystery of Sweet Treats and Sour Deeds ☕️🍪🕵️‍♀️

Lily Rose dreamed of a quiet life filled with the scent of fresh-baked scones and the gentle clink of teacups at her grandmother's charming Magnolia Cafe. But her homecoming turns bitter when the town's most despised food critic collapses and dies after eating one of her famous lavender shortbread cookies.

Suddenly, Lily isn't just the new baker in town—she's the prime suspect in a murder investigation. To save her cafe and her freedom, she must partner with a grumpy-yet-surprisingly-handsome local detective and rely on her loyal book club friends, who know the town's secrets better than anyone.

As Lily follows a trail of clues as delicate as pastry dough, she uncovers a recipe of lies, secret rivalries, and long-buried town history that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. But with the killer still lurking in her picturesque town, Lily realizes that her next creation might need to be a perfect recipe for justice—before she becomes the next victim on the menu.
