Bagels and Blackmail E-BOOK

A missing cat. A baffling crime. And a baker with a talent for solving mysteries.

When Maddie's beloved cat, Big Red, is petnapped, she's devastated. But he's not the only one—other pets in Maple Falls have vanished, leaving their owners heartbroken. Maddie knows animals are family, and she won't rest until she finds them.

Then, a body turns up behind her bakery, and the town's attention shifts. With the police—including her ex, the town sheriff—focused on the murder, no one seems to care about the missing pets.

Maddie refuses to sit on the sidelines. With her feisty Gran, a close-knit group of friends, and a few unexpected clues, she's determined to crack the case—before it's too late.

🐾 If you love cozy mysteries with clever amateur sleuths, whisker-worthy twists, and small-town charm, you'll adore the Maple Lane Mysteries!
