Welcome to Moonstone Bay, where salty breezes, fresh-baked treats, and a dash of murder make life on the boardwalk anything but ordinary!If you've ever dreamed of starting over in a charming coastal town where the pastries are as sweet as the friendships and every sunset hides a secret, the Moonstone Bakery Mysteries are your perfect recipe for fun.
Former criminal attorney Ginny Malone never planned to trade her courtroom heels for flour-dusted aprons, but a twist of fate sends her to the shores of Moonstone Bay, California, with her mischievous cat Shortcake and her grandmother's secret recipes. Together with her hammer-wielding best friend Lois and her grumpy-but-lovable P.I. landlord Vince Rinaldi, Ginny navigates the mystery, mayhem, and mouthwatering moments that only Moonstone Bay can serve up.
This delightful boxed set includes the first three books in the bestselling Moonstone Bakery Mysteries series. It's packed with twists, laughter, and a whole lot of heart!
Book 1: Lava Cake and Lies Ginny arrives in Moonstone Bay ready for a fresh start, but when a dead body turns up during bakery renovations and Vince becomes the prime suspect, her sweet new beginning crumbles fast. Can Ginny clear his name and catch a killer before her dream bakery becomes a recipe for disaster?
Book 2: Cupcakes and Crime The ovens are warm and business is booming—until Vince takes on a client whose problems lead straight to murder. Balancing frosting and forensics isn't easy, especially with a killer who might be closer than anyone suspects. Ginny will need all her legal smarts and a little luck to solve this one.
Book 3: Fudge and Felons When a shady supplier turns up dead outside the bakery, Ginny's talented baker James becomes the prime suspect. Ginny knows he's innocent, but proving it means digging into secrets someone is willing to kill to protect—and this time, the danger hits closer to home than ever.
Full of coastal charm, irresistible baked goods, and clever whodunits, the Moonstone Bakery Mysteries will leave you hungry for more. Perfect for fans of Ellie Alexander, Joanne Fluke, and culinary cozies with heart, humor, and just the right amount of mystery.
