Maple Mayhem — A Tasty Culinary Cozy Mystery
Book 3 in The Sugar & Sage Mysteries

Maple-scented air, golden autumn leaves, and sticky secrets that refuse to stay buried…

The Willowbrook Maple Festival is the sweetest week of the year, and baker Maya Shepherd is ready to charm tourists with her new maple-glazed scones. But when the festival’s prized syrup is sabotaged just before the Golden Tap Competition, the sticky situation takes a darker turn. By nightfall, a vendor is found dead in the old sugar shack, drowned in a vat of syrup.

Maya vows to protect her bakery’s good name and the festival’s reputation—while sidestepping her rival Derek Hollis’s smug attempts to steal the spotlight. With her best friend Nate Kim, savvy food blogger Sofia Rossi, and the ever-watchful Officer Glen Hughes by her side, Maya digs through layers of maple-flavored motives, jealous competitors, and threats that have been brewing for months.
