The Last Cake

A Wedding. A Murder. A Ticking Clock.

When innkeeper Courtney Richmond agrees to host her brother-in-law Paul's wedding at Crocus Hill Inn, she expects stress over seating arrangements and menu selections, not a murder investigation. But when Dawn Shepherd, the talented baker creating the bride's wedding cake, is found dead behind her bakery, the joyous celebration is threatened. With only four days until the ceremony, and the bride's sister emerging as the prime suspect, Courtney can't stand by and watch her new family torn apart.

Dawn wasn't just a baker; she was also a book editor for a wealthy family, and her clients are dropping like flies. As Courtney investigates, she discovers that Dawn had uncovered something dangerous hidden in the pages of a manuscript, something worth killing for. Between mysterious break-ins at the bakery, a web of embezzlement, and a blackmail scheme, the truth becomes more twisted with every clue. When Courtney herself is injured during a confrontation with the killer, the investigation becomes personal, and time is running out before the wedding bells ring.

Every manuscript holds a secret. Every secret hides a killer.
