A single bite of a lavender-glazed scone kills a renowned food critic at the bustling Harvest Market—and every finger points at the woman who baked it. Emma Finch refuses to believe her aunt is capable of murder, but proving it means decoding a web of rivalries, buried grudges, and suspiciously perfect alibis in a coastal town that thrives on gossip. With her friend Lin Park deciphering clues beside her, Emma races to expose a killer hiding behind small-town charm.
