Sweet Bites Mysteries

Heather Justesen

After leaving Chicago for the supposedly peaceful town of Silver Springs, pastry chef Tess Crawford expects a fresh start—but instead discovers a murder that quickly makes her the prime suspect. With her fingerprints on the weapon, an uncomfortable history with the victim, and danger closing in, Tess must investigate the crime before the real killer silences her. As an unfaithful ex-fiancé returns and friends, rivals, and irresistible pastries complicate the case, Tess finds herself navigating small-town secrets, romantic tension, and escalating peril. Blending culinary charm with sharp suspense and amateur sleuthing, this cozy mystery serves up a deliciously twisty search for justice.
