A neutralized sourdough starter. A poisoned baker. In Maple Falls, the chemistry of baking is murder.
Maple Falls is famous for its artisanal charm, but behind the flour-dusted counters of the local bakeries, a lethal rivalry is fermenting. When the town's most legendary, eleven-year-old sourdough starter is intentionally destroyed using a highly precise chemical buffer, analytical chemist Dr. Aris Thorne knows this is no ordinary kitchen mishap.
Shortly after the starter's demise, a prominent baker turns up dead at the historic Hardwick Mill. The local police are convinced it’s a tragic accident born of a bitter baking feud, but the forensic evidence tells a darker, more calculated story.
Armed with a digital pH meter and an uncompromising demand for the truth, Aris must look past the standard baking tropes and apply strict thermodynamic rigor to uncover a killer. The investigation forces Aris to navigate the following:
A Trail of Toxins: Trace enzymatic reactions and analyze municipal water sabotage to find the true cause of death.
Historical Secrets: Uncover the dark history of chemical dumping at the old Hardwick Mill that someone is desperate to keep buried.
A Town Full of Suspects: Titrate the truth from a community where everyone has a motive, and no one’s alibi survives the microscope.
If you love clever whodunits, small-town secrets, and a brilliant sleuth who uses science to solve crimes, you’ll devour this latest installment.
