Red Velvet Cupcake Murder

Fiction Mystery Detective Fiction Cozy Mystery

Description

When the Albion Hotel reopens in grand style, Hannah Swensen is called in to cater the celebration with her signature red velvet cupcakes—only for the festivities to curdle into chaos. A guest is found dead after eating a cupcake laced with tranquilizers, and Hannah quickly becomes the prime suspect. As she navigates small-town suspicion and a web of motives, Hannah must also contend with the return of a Lake Eden legend whose past is anything but settled. Blending cozy mystery charm with a distinctly food-forward sleuthing style, this installment explores trust, rivalry, and the thin line between sweetness and danger as Hannah races to uncover who really tampered with the treats.
