Deadly Dough: A Magical Bakery Cozy Mystery
Former corporate lawyer turned kitchen witch. A talking cat with attitude. And bread that fights back.
Sage Thorne thought entering her first baking competition would be stressful enough without adding murder to the mix. Armed with her glowing sourdough starter, Bubbles, and her sarcastic feline familiar, Basil, she's ready to prove she belongs in Vermont's magical baking community.
But when a fellow competitor turns up dead, strangled with a proving cloth, Sage discovers the competition is more cutthroat than she imagined. Dark magic is sabotaging bakers left and right, and the victim was planning to expose kitchen witches to a dangerous anti-magic organization—making enemies of anyone with magical abilities.
Between hex-weaving twins, shadow magic, and mysterious observers taking notes, this competition is turning deadly.
Can Sage rise to the occasion, or will this be her final bake?
Perfect for fans of magical mayhem, talking familiars, and mysteries that are equal parts cozy and chaotic.
Book 3 in The Enchanted Whisk series—can be read as a standalone!

I loved this adventure! This author knows what she is doing and I love her work. I also meant every word I said in my last review of this series, basically because the praise has been earned. In this adventure, Sage has been entered into a bread baking competition and she worries about it because her magic has had unexpected results in the last six months while practicing and trying to refine her kitchen witch magic. The characters are powerful, even the antagonists. The plot is straightforward, as much as magic will allow, and the premise is finding out who killed the paranoid human baker and why. Sage also has to avoid the attention of the witch hunters association determined to eradicate all magical people. I most definitely recommend this book and the prior two I have read of this series, so far.
