When talented baker Rosie Hart delivers cakes and cookies to her newest clients, The Sweet Treat candy store, she finds herself embroiled in yet another murder case. Will she ever catch a break? Her elderly clients, The Percival sisters, are shocked when their long-lost great nephew appears with no warning. The sisters have never met nor heard of the man, but he's family so they accept him with open arms. He immediately begins to tear up his aunts' home, so when he turns up dead, Rosie feels only a sense of relief-until she realizes the police suspect the sisters. Rosie is as convinced of their innocence as she is of the deliciousness of her popular salted-caramel cupcakes. But as the body count begins to rise and new secrets are unearthed, she begins to wonder if the sweet artisan candy makers are hiding more than their family recipes.
When amateur baker, and now amateur sleuth, Rosie Hart finds herself embroiled in another mystery in rural Airlie Falls, Texas, she can't believe her bad luck. Soon the town is reeling from a murder, an unidentified body, a late mayoral challenge, missing town money, and a strange group of socialites gathered at a mansion out of town. With so many of her new friends suspected of wrongdoing, Rosie can't sit on the sidelines any longer. She's convinced these strange occurrences are connected, but she's running out of time to prove how. She'll need to unmask a murderer before there's another body to add to the tally. But snooping around undercover is harder than it looks, and Rosie will be lucky to get out of this one without more casualties than a batch of burned Buried Treasure Cookies.
For one brief hour on a sunny Texas morning, amateur baker Rosie Hart glimpses the life she's always dreamed about-thanks to a surprise inheritance from the late Miss Alice. But her benefactor is barely cold in the ground when Rosie is accused of her murder. As the only stranger in the tight-knit Airlie Falls community, and the only person with an obvious motive, all eyes turn to Rosie. Especially when more bodies begin to pile up and mysterious letters from the grave start circulating faster than Rosie can pull a tray of cherry nut clusters out of the oven. When Rosie begins to suspect the murders have links to a sixty-year-old suspicious death on the very property she's just inherited, town locals become uneasy. But how can Rosie prove the two are related-and prove her innocence-before the killer strikes again?
