Strawberry Crumble Mystery

When the truth rises, someone always gets burned… or baked.

Clara Bloom just wants to run her bakery, avoid the local gossip mill, and perfect her strawberry crumble recipe. But when a dramatic collapse at the historic Florida Twin Theater puts her in the spotlight again, her quiet small-town life shatters like an overbaked pie crust.

Soon Clara is neck-deep in secrets, old grudges, and a decades-old environmental scandal that someone will do anything to bury. With the sheriff warning her to stay out of it (like that’s ever worked), a whistleblower son seeking justice for his father, and her best friend Daisy ready to charge into danger armed with glitter pens and snacks, Clara has no choice but to whisk herself into the investigation.

As the town’s past rises to the surface, Clara will uncover lies older than the theater itself—and realize that some recipes for truth demand heat, courage, and just a touch of chaos.

Sweet justice. Sharp wit. Southern charm.
Welcome back to Starke, Florida—where secrets bake slow, friends bake loud, and one small-town baker refuses to crumble.
