Book One in the Jordan Hollow Cozy Mystery Series
Grand opening. Fresh donuts. Dead body.
Not exactly the start Tessa Myre had in mind.
After fleeing a ruined career in Garden City, Tessa returns to her hometown of Jordan Hollow with her teenage son Jake to open Tessa’s Sweet Retreat. But when a local reporter is found murdered behind the bakery—and her best friend Lucette is arrested—Tessa’s hopes for a peaceful fresh start crumble faster than a day-old pastry.
The evidence points to local business rivals with dangerous secrets—secrets the victim may have been ready to expose. With reluctant help from handyman Clint Brannigan, Tessa begins to investigate, uncovering a scheme that threatens the heart of their quiet Ontario town. Someone is silencing anyone who gets too close.
As she digs deeper, Tessa realizes Jordan Hollow’s quaint charm hides something far more sinister. The killer is watching her—and they’ve already proven they’ll do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried.
If she doesn’t solve the case soon, Tessa could be the next body in the alley.
Perfect for fans of small-town cozy mysteries, amateur sleuths, and culinary-themed whodunits.
