Another mystery book from Kerry Greenwood, internationally bestselling
author of the Phryne Fisher mysteries! Betrayal is a bitter pill to
swallow...
Rising at four o'clock every morning isn't Corinna Chapman's favorite
part of running her Australian bakery, Earthly Delights, and the glowing
light of dawn feels even harsher when a man collapses in her shop. When
the man, a military veteran, comes around and reveals that his beloved
ex-service dog is missing, Corinna and her longtime companion, Daniel,
feel compelled to help. It soon becomes clear, though, that they have
gotten involved in something much bigger and more complicated than they
had bargained for... especially when threatening notes begin to appear
in Corinna's apartment. And with recreational drugs rising in
popularity, the sleuths suspect that a dangerous smuggling ring might be
behind everything.
Along with searching for the soldier's dog, dodging suspicious
neighbors, and putting a stop to a string of local burglaries, Corinna
has to keep her bakery running! It'll take everything she's got to crack
the case and make sure delicious breads, muffins, and treats are still
fresh and ready for her eager customers. Can she take the heat?
Part culinary cozy mystery, part small town mystery, and full of twists
and turns, this latest addition to the Corinna Chapman Mysteries has it
all!
