Ivy Culpepper keeps the ovens hot at Yeast of Eden, a Northern California bakery that specializes in traditional breads. But now she has to deal with a stone-cold killer . . . Just as Ivy's brother Billy is about to get engaged to his beloved, a tragedy interrupts the happy moment. The body of longtime Santa Sofia resident Marisol Ruiz washes up on the beach--and it's even more heartbreaking since Marisol's father also recently died. But Marisol was a strong competitive swimmer. It seems unlikely there's even a grain of truth to the theory that she accidentally drowned. As Ivy gets to work helping her mentor, Olaya Solis, with the catering for Marisol's funeral, she also teams up with her partners in detection--because if they want to prevent someone from getting away with murder, there's no time for loafing . . .
Y'all this one had me! Multiple literal jaw drops! And that ending?!
Ivy has settled into her hometown again. She has a job she loves, she's rekindled her high school love, her brother and best friend are about to get engaged, she's settled. But when a dead body interrupts the big night, can Ivy help find out what happened?
Book 4 in the Bread Shop Mystery series is definitely the best so far! There were so many twists and turns, I loved it! I loved that we got to know Ivy more and all of her friends more. But overall, it felt like we were welcomed in as a part of the town. My jaw actually dropped multiple times while reading because of surprises. And then the ending?! I'm totally picking up the next one immediately!
