"Some recipes call for sugar and spice. Ours calls for solving a murder..."

My grandmother taught me that magic is like baking: it’s all about intention. As a fire witch, I pour my heart into every loaf of bread. Opening a bakery with my coven sisters was supposed to be the culmination of that dream. But during renovations, we didn't just find asbestos; we found a skeleton clutching a scorched spellbook. A spellbook that hums with a power that recognizes my own, practically begging me to uncover its secrets. This wasn’t just any skeleton; it was murdered.

"The second installment in the Maple Bishop historical mysteries continues the adventures of intrepid amateur sleuth Maple Bishop."
