A Cake Worse Than Death (Deadly Morsel Mysteries Book 1)

Calling their business The Deadly Morsel Café and Bookshop really wasn't an invitation to murder.

Located in the Tudor village of Aston Priors, The Deadly Morsel Café & Bookshop is a hop, skip and a jump from Stratford-upon-Avon where visitors arrive daily by the busload to sample the delights of Shakespeare territory.

Nell Palmer manages the café, serving up the most delectable cakes and desserts while her old school friend, Maxie Temple, fronts the bookshop, sourcing rare first editions and researching dishes for their medieval-themed lunch menu.

Three months in and trade at the café is booming. The same can't be said for the bookshop, and the lack of sales is a bone of contention for the two friends.

Finding a dead customer in the bookshop doesn't help matters, and with the finger of blame firmly pointing at Maxie, finding the real killer is of paramount importance… for the sake of their business and their friendship.
