Black Forest Cake Murder - Karen McSpade - BKBY

Behind every delicious slice is a recipe for murder.

When a renowned food critic is found dead after visiting Sinclair’s Sweets, the beloved family bakery’s reputation crumbles…and so does the Sinclair family’s peace. For Holly, Noelle, and Joy Sinclair, it’s more than bad news — it’s personal. Their father becomes the prime suspect in a murder that threatens to tear their small Montana town apart.

Determined to clear his name, the three sisters must unravel a tangled web of secrets, bitter rivalries, and long-buried grudges simmering beneath the quaint streets of Chestnut Hills. As clues lead them down unexpected paths — from a jealous competitor’s simmering resentment to a mysterious stranger’s shadowy past — the clock ticks toward another deadly strike.

Amid the mounting suspense, Holly wrestles with her feelings for Chad, the local detective and her high school crush, while navigating the complicated presence of his determined ex. With family loyalty, romance, and a treasured bakery all on the line, will the Sinclair sisters rise to the challenge and solve the mystery before the killer serves their final course?
