Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries #10
Of Ice and Men
A visiting poetry professor’s murder puts the Bakehouse Three on the case of a coldblooded killer taking shelter in Loch Mallaig.
It’s the dead of winter in Loch Mallaig, Michigan, and Bread on Arrival bakehouse owners Molly Ferris, Laura Donovan, and Carol MacCallan are weathering yet another Upper Peninsula snow squall. Eager for some fun, the Bakehouse Three hope that two upcoming events their Scottish town is hosting—an ice fishing derby and a celebration of poet Robert Burns—will thaw their frosty morale. But Molly’s blood runs cold when she makes a chilling discovery on her way home from a traditional Burns supper—the body of visiting professor Finlay Croft, who had lent his golden voice to the evening’s oration mere minutes before falling victim to foul play.
Unfortunately, Finlay’s death is only the tip of the iceberg for murderous mayhem in Loch Mallaig. Molly and her friends start investigating the frightful crimes, but they soon find themselves on thin ice. If the women aren’t careful, however, they’ll catch their death of something far more sinister than cold.
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, Scottish culture, and female friendships.
