Description

A Cozy Mystery with Hidden Ledgers, Small-Town Secrets, and a Deadly Festival Murder The grand reopening of a seaside bakery should have been Wren Calloway's fresh start—until she finds a celebrity chef dead in her walk-in cooler. After inheriting The Salted Crumb from her beloved Aunt Mabel, former crime-scene photographer Wren hopes to rebuild her life in the charming harbor town of Driftwood Harbor. Instead, she becomes the prime suspect in a murder that threatens everything she's worked to save. With the help of Pepper, a retired detection dog with an uncanny nose for secrets, an opinionated African Grey parrot who repeats cryptic warnings, and a cast of quirky island locals, Wren begins uncovering a tangled web of hidden money, buried grudges, and long-forgotten mysteries. As storm clouds gather over the harbor and evidence points in every direction, Wren must separate rumor from truth before a killer strikes again—and before she loses her bakery forever. Filled with coastal charm, lovable animal companions, clever clues, and a page-turning mystery, Rise and Die is the perfect start to an unforgettable cozy mystery series. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries.
