After catching her celebrity chef fiancé sizzling in the arms of another woman, Lindsey Bakewell left big city Wall Street for small town Beacon Harbor, Michigan to pursue her own passion as a pastry baker—and gets mixed up in someone's sweet taste of revenge . . .

More interested in kneading dough than adding it up, Lindsey's breakup inspired her to set up the shop she always wanted in a place that always made her happy. She'd spent many childhood summers near this beach community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery café and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey and her devoted Newfoundland dog, Wellington.

But not everyone in town has a sweet tooth. The preservation society won't have the lighthouse's history sugar coated by lattes and cakes—and a protest group crashes Lindsey's Memorial Day opening. Then her ex-fiancé Jeffrey Plank and his girlfriend Mia Long arrive to trash the place. In the ensuing chaos Mia chokes on a donut and dies.

An autopsy reveals cyanide in Mia's bloodstream and Lindsey is the police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she's going to need to combine ingredients found in the town's checkered past to uncover the identity of a desperate killer . . .

Includes Delicious Recipes!

Advance praise for MURDER AT THE BEACON BAKESHOP

"Darci Hannah mixes spicy characters, a sweet bakeshop, and a possibly haunted lighthouse into a charming beachfront Michigan village and serves up a mystery as delectable as the bakeshop's treats and as twisty as the lighthouse stairs."
—Ginger Bolton, author of Boston Scream Murder

      A woman's dream turns into a cozy nightmare. Retaining the Michigan locale of her Whitney Bloom series, Hannah introduces a determined new sleuth in Lindsey Bakewell, who gave up a lucrative Wall Street career to open a bakeshop/cafe in Beacon Harbor after catching her fiance, Jeffery Plank, doing the dirty with pastry chef Mia Long. She and her loyal Newfoundland, Wellington, arrive to discover her dream purchase of a historic lighthouse looking pretty rough. But the inside turns out to be perfect, and the exterior needs only a little paint. The driver who drops off Lindsey suggests his cousin as an experienced baker, and her hunky next-door neighbor, ex-Navy Seal Rory Campbell, turns out to be an extra benefit, even pitching in as a barista on her opening day. That rollout, promoted by realtor Betty Vanhoosen and Lindsey's best friend, influencer Kennedy Kapoor, draws a big crowd. Unfortunately, the attendees include Fiona Dickel, who wanted the lighthouse preserved as a historical landmark, and Mia and Jeffery, who are out for revenge because they think Lindsey ruined their reputations. A wild scene of flying pastries ensues. Things get worse when Mia dies on the lighthouse lawn, presumably poisoned, and Lindsey finds herself the prime suspect. Uncovering the killer strains Lindsey's burgeoning romance and puts her in danger. Red herrings, romance, and yummy recipes combine in this charming new series.
