Walnut Brownies and Murder (LP): A Temperance Matthews Cozy Mystery

In Oak Hollow, every recipe comes with a dash of mystery...

A family crest, a tray of walnut brownies, and one deadly engagement party...

Former FBI analyst turned baker Temperance Matthews is finally settling into her brand-new kitchen in Oak Hollow. With her best friend Josie by her side, her loyal dachshund Hank underfoot, and a fresh batch of Aunt Lottie's famous walnut brownies in the oven, life is starting to feel sweet again.

But when an extravagant engagement party at the Oak Hollow Hideaway Inn ends in murder, Temperance once again finds herself balancing brownie trays and police tape. With Officer Casey Butler encouraging her sleuthing ways, she digs into the Posey family's past-where secrets, scandals, and symbols lurk beneath the polished surface.

Can Temperance serve up justice before another life is lost, or will her second chance at happiness crumble under the weight of a killer's schemes?

Walnut Brownies & Murder is the third book in the Little Bakery Cozy Mystery Series, featuring Temperance Matthews. It can be read as a standalone.
