A beyond the grave request… Can be murder. Filled with mixed feelings and inner conflict, Claudia Fletcher returns to Egret Island, Maine for the first time in twenty years for her estranged father’s funeral. During the reading of his will, she learns that he bequeathed his house and the famous Fletcher’s Pride Bakery to her… under the condition that she live in the house and run the bakery for at least a year before making the decision to keep or sell them. While trying to figure a way out of her father’s posthumous requests, she begins to realize something doesn’t seem quite right about his death. Quite a few people had a motive to kill him, and although he had a cancer diagnosis that she hadn’t been aware of, everyone, including his doctor, said he’d been doing well. Claudia had been estranged from her father, but she still loved him and is determined to get to the bottom of his death in the name of justice. In the meantime, she has some decisions to make and a ton of hard work to do if she’s going to live up to the provisions in the will. Can she crack the case and find closure? Will she be able to handle living in her old hometown and running a bakery for a year? Find out in this exciting Culinary Cozy Mystery!

https://www.facebook.com/Patti-Bennin... When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy. ​Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face. ​Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
