In the charming town of Willowberry, Stella Ray’s café is known for good coffee, flaky scones, and community warmth. What the town is not known for? Murder.
When a man is found dead at the Sunflower Festival, the idyllic charm of Willowberry cracks. Suddenly, Stella is juggling gossiping townsfolk, suspicious break-ins, and shadowy figures watching her every move.
Sheriff Ben Morgan wants to protect her, but he can’t ignore the evidence stacking up against her. With Rex, her loyal bulldog, tracking clues…Stella digs into the truth behind the festival’s missing funds and the secrets the dead man uncovered.
But someone else is playing a more dangerous game. The councilwoman with too many secrets, the rival baker desperate to hide mistakes and the wannabe chili champ all have reason to fear what the victim found.
Stella realizes the real mystery may be tied to someone she once trusted who is willing to destroy her café, her reputation, and maybe even her life to keep their secrets hidden.
