Synopsis

Cressida Vale came to Blackvale for peace and a fresh start—not murder.

When celebrity chef Henrietta Dodd collapses face-first into her prize-winning trifle at the town's beloved Midsummer Feast, all eyes turn to Cressida's great-aunt Sylvia—whose "experimental" jam tart may have been the murder weapon. With her aunt accused and the evidence stacking up, Cressida has no choice but to investigate.

Teaming up with Miles Stone, her childhood friend and reluctant hometown returnee, Cressida uncovers a tangled web of culinary theft, blackmail, embezzlement, and long-simmering grudges. From manipulative judges to exploited protégés, everyone in Blackvale seems to have a secret—and a motive.

As the summer sun beats down and the festival continues around them, Cressida and Miles must race against time to find the real killer before her aunt takes the fall. But in a town where appearances deceive and gossip spreads faster than wildfire, the truth may be the most dangerous ingredient of all.

Murder at the Midsummer Feast is a cozy gothic mystery perfect for fans of small-town intrigue, amateur sleuths, and deadly desserts.
