A Recipe for Disaster: A Small Town Bakery Cozy Mystery
Where food trucks and foul play collide…
n the charming coastal town of Ivy Bay, former chemistry professor turned baker Ruth Okoye has her hands full running Beacon Bakes, her lighthouse bakery. But when a suspicious fire breaks out at the annual Food Truck Fair, leaving local favorite Diego Navarro unconscious and his prized family recipe book in ashes, Ruth realizes this is no simple kitchen accident.
With her scientifically-inclined mind, her detective cat Watson, and her best friend Bea by her side, Ruth follows a trail of clues that leads to a century-old mystery. Could Diego's recipe book have contained more than just cooking instructions? As Ruth uncovers evidence of modified chemicals and staged accidents, she realizes someone is willing to kill to keep certain family secrets buried.
Between managing her bustling bakery, analyzing suspicious substances, and dodging increasingly dangerous "accidents," Ruth must catch a killer before they strike again. But in a town where everyone has something to hide, who can she trust? And what ancient treasure could be worth committing murder over?
Join Ruth, Watson, and a cast of colorful characters in this delectable mystery that blends small-town charm with scientific intrigue. A Recipe for Disaster serves up the perfect mixture of cozy mystery staples with fresh and unique ingredients - including a lighthouse bakery, a chemistry-loving sleuth, and a cat who takes his detective work very seriously.

The fourth in a fun series
The local sheriff asks Ruth to provide a chemical analysis of evidence from a food truck fire. As she dives into the mystery with lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending. A fun read.
