The Baker and the Body (Blythe River Mysteries)
A poisoned landlord was just the beginning. If Maddie wants to survive, it's going to take more than cupcakes and croissants.
Maddie Dixon, proprietress of the Blythe Spirit Bakeshop, is not interested in being a detective. Despite her love of mystery novels, and her penchant for solving them before the book ends, Maddie is content with her little bakery in her placid little hometown of Blythe River.
But when Maddie finds the resident landlord, Otto St. James, dead in his home, the victim of a vicious poisoning, she becomes mixed up in the mystery, setting out to find who killed Otto before they can strike again. When her bakery is targeted, however, Maddie finds that she's in over her head, and she's not going to be able to bake away her troubles.
Maddie is going to have to either solve the mystery of who killed Otto St. James, or be the murderer's next victim.
