Gingerbread and Gunshots E-BOOK

A Bride-to-Be. A Killer on the Loose. A Deadly Connection.

When Maddie's old friend—the one who landed her first baking job—arrives in town, she's not just bringing wedding plans… she's bringing trouble.

Even Big Red, Maddie's oversized, overprotective Maine Coon, senses something is off. And he's rarely wrong.

As vengeance, secrets, and danger swirl around Maple Falls, Maddie must rely on every skill her mystery-loving grandad taught her to keep her loved ones safe. But this time, the stakes are higher than ever—and the enemy more ruthless than she's ever faced.

And if she doesn't stop the killer in time, will Ethan—her ever-skeptical fiancé—once again decide that Maddie is hardly marriage material?

The Maple Lane Mysteries serve up small-town charm, amateur sleuthing, and a cat-loving baker who always finds herself in the middle of a mystery!

📚 Perfect for fans of cozy culinary mysteries, sassy sleuths, and page-turning whodunits!
