Description
Some mornings start with coffee. Sage Holloway’s started with a corpse.
When Sage trades her corporate food science career for a fresh start in the seaside town of Crescent Harbor, she expects flour-dusted mornings, loyal regulars, and the simple satisfaction of baking something real. She gets all of that—and a murder she didn’t ask for.
The victim? Crescent Harbor’s most hated developer, found dead at his desk with his coffee still hot. The suspect? Sage’s own employee—a struggling single mother whose very public, very angry threat against the man now looks an awful lot like motive.
Sage knows her. And Sage knows better.
Armed with a food scientist’s instincts, a suspicious coffee cup with very strange sediment, and Shadow—her sleek black cat with ancient golden eyes who always seems to know exactly what’s happening—Sage starts pulling at threads that powerful people would rather stayed buried.
In Crescent Harbor, the scones are fresh, the secrets run deep, and some things were buried for a very good reason.
She just wanted to bake.
Now she has to find a killer before someone decides she knows too much.
A Bitter Taste is Book 1 of 5 in the complete Moonlight Murder Mystery Club series—a cozy mystery series perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Laura Childs, and Ellie Alexander. All five books available now.
