A recently retired detective meets an untimely end shortly after moving to Loch Mallaig, and the Bakehouse Three make it a priority to pin down his killer. Having been welcomed warmly to the quaint village of Loch Mallaig, Michigan, Laura Donovan, Molly Ferris, and Carol MacCallan pay the kindness forward by visiting the recently opened used bookshop of retired Detroit police detective Edgar Richardson. Unfortunately, Edgar is discovered dead under suspicious circumstances after his shop is burglarized, and the police inform Molly and Carol that they were the last customers to see the kindly retiree alive. In the wake of his untimely demise, Edgar seemingly leaves behind more secrets than old books and kitschy curios—and the attack on Books & Bargains appears to be only the first in a series of frightening break-ins plaguing Loch Mallaig. Determined to stop the crime spree before anyone else gets hurt, the Bakehouse Three use every trick in the book to track down the real villain. Will they untangle the burglar’s nefarious plot in time, or will their adventure tale turn into a horror story? This clever whodunit from Annie’s Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, Scottish culture, and female friendships.
