A Cozy Mystery with a Touch of Magic
Wren Calloway would rather be left alone with her ledgers, her crow, and her late grandmother’s undertaking parlor. Unfortunately, the bones have other ideas.
When Emberlow Hollow’s beloved baker turns up dead the morning before the Harvest Festival, the whole town chalks it up to a tired heart. Wren knows better — the dead always leave one true fact behind, and this one’s a hidden ledger page that doesn’t add up.
With her over-eager apprentice Bram in tow, the town’s tea shop gossip working overtime, and a skeptical constable who’d very much like this to be an accident, Wren has three days to follow the thread before the truth goes into the ground for good.
Turns out the baker had more secrets than flour in her pantry — and not all of them are hers to keep.
What the Baker Kept kicks off a charming, small-town fantasy mystery series perfect for readers who love reluctant heroines, quiet magic, and a graveside secret with their afternoon tea.
