If You Give a Sleuth Cinnamon Roll

A failing Vermont inn. A too-clever tuxedo cat. A cinnamon-scented mystery with a body behind the bakery.When Maisie Vance returns to Whistleberry Falls, she has one sensible plan: help her mother save the family bed-and-breakfast, organize the chaos, then go straight back to her carefully controlled life in Seattle.The Whistleberry Inn has other ideas.The porch is sagging, the reservation system belongs in a museum, the kitchen is one inspection away from disaster, and Barnaby, the inn's elderly tuxedo cat, seems determined to supervise every mistake with his slightly cross-eyed glare and burnt-orange scarf.Then Gordon Pell, the county health inspector with a clipboard sharp enough to draw blood, threatens the inn's future.The next thing Maisie knows, Gordon is dead behind Hearth & Grain, the beloved bakery next door, and the town is suddenly full of people with motives, old grudges, missing records, and secrets tucked away like receipts in the wrong drawer.With her mother hiding more than unpaid invoices, a handsome baker next door who knows too much about local trouble, and Barnaby uncovering clues no one asked him to find, Maisie must decide whether Whistleberry Falls is just the town she escaped from...Or the home she was always meant to fight for.If You Give a Sleuth a Cinnamon Roll is the first book in The Whistleberry Hearth Mysteries, a warm and witty cozy mystery series filled with small-town secrets, bakery treats, autumn charm, family tension, light romance, and one judgmental cat who may be the best detective in Vermont.Perfect for readers who love: cozy mysteries with cats, small-town amateur sleuths, bed-and-breakfast mysteries, bakery cozy mysteries, clean mysteries, charming Vermont settings, family secrets, and clever whodunits with heart.Welcome to Whistleberry Falls, where the cinnamon rolls are warm, the gossip is fresh, and murder never stays hidden for long.
