Baked by the Sea Mysteries

The Full Cozy Mystery Series

Welcome to Rolling Wave Cove, where the scones are warm, the secrets run deep, and murder has a way of washing up with the tide. Meet Nelly Hartley, a big-hearted baker who left her old life behind to open The Rolling Pin on a picturesque coastal boardwalk. With her loyal English Bulldog Bruno snoring under the counter and a knack for noticing what others miss, Nelly quickly discovers that her new hometown harbors more than charming cottages and friendly neighbors. When trouble finds her—and it always does—she can't help but dig for the truth, one clue at a time.

From a sharp-tongued food critic found drowned at high tide to a decades-old body hidden behind a cellar wall, each mystery pulls Nelly deeper into the complicated lives of Rolling Wave Cove's residents. Alongside her sharp-witted best friend Trudy, the handsome handyman Cal, and a colorful cast of boardwalk business owners, Nelly untangles webs of jealousy, greed, and long-buried grudges. Bruno proves himself an unlikely detective, always sniffing out evidence at exactly the right moment. Through stolen recipes, coastal corruption, and small-town secrets, this delightful series serves up twists, humor, and heart in equal measure.
