Scones and Sourdough Secrets: a Small Town Bakery Cozy Mystery with Furry Twist: 1

A fresh start. A dead body. And a Corgi with a knack for finding trouble... Ex-corporate lawyer Elara Vance swapped high-stakes courtroom drama for rolling pins and secret family recipes in Willow Creek, a charming small-town valley where everyone knows your name-and your exact daily caloric intake. She thought her biggest headache would be perfect sourdough starters and fighting off a local councilman's petty zoning threats. She was wrong. When that same councilman is found dead in the historic clock tower, the local sheriff points a finger straight at Elara. The evidence? A unique dusting of bakery sugar found at the crime scene. Backed into a corner, Elara must trade her apron for her old legal instincts to clear her name. With the help of her mischievous, flour-covered Corgi sidekick, Barnaby, and Julian Thorne-the rugged local hardware store owner with a slow-burn charm-Elara begins digging into the town's buried secrets. But when her kitchen is ransacked and a deadly batch of herbs is planted in her pantry, it becomes clear that someone wants Elara permanently out of business. Can Elara sift through the clues and catch the real killer before her new beginning gets entirely burned?
