Secrets in the Sugar Crust

A Maple Glade Cupcake Shop Mystery

The Cozy Novel Club Series — Book 1
by Brandi Knight

When retired pastry chef Clarissa Hale inherits her late aunt’s beloved cupcake shop in the storybook town of Maple Glade, she expects flour, frosting, and fond memories—not secrets.

But hidden inside an old rolling pin, Clarissa discovers a long-buried recipe written in unfamiliar handwriting… and the unsettling hint of a decades-old betrayal at the heart of Sweet Hollow Cupcakes.

Before she can uncover the truth, a notorious food critic collapses during the bakery’s grand reopening after eating one of Clarissa’s signature blackberry cordial cupcakes.

Now Sweet Hollow is shuttered again, suspicion falls on Clarissa’s staff, and whispers about her aunt’s legacy begin to spread through the tight-knit town.

To clear the bakery’s name, Clarissa must sift through Maple Glade’s sweetest traditions and most bitter loyalties—where devoted friendships hide painful truths, and recipes passed down with love may also conceal deception.

Because in Maple Glade, secrets are never discarded…

They’re simply folded into the dough.
