Publisher Description

On the shores of Lake Michigan, influencer Maddy Montgomery has turned the bakery she inherited from her great aunt Octavia into a destination. There's just one thing she won't post: the body in the freezer . . .

Thanks to Maddy's social media savvy, Baby Cakes Bakery is becoming a huge success—so much so that she's attracted the attention of her former nemesis, the fiancé-stealing Brandy Denton. When Brandy blows into New Bison like an ill wind and disrupts a vlog Maddy's filming, their argument goes viral.

After Brandy's body is found in the freezer at Baby Cakes, Maddy instantly goes from viral sensation to murder suspect. As Maddy is still reeling from the murder, a stranger shows up in the bakery claiming to have been a friend of Octavia. He believes Maddy is in danger.

When a second body washes up on the lake shore, it seems clear someone's out to kill to keep a secret—and it may have to do with her great aunt. Maddy rallies her aunt's friends, the Baker Street Irregulars; Sheriff April Johnson; and her veterinarian boyfriend Michael—not to mention her English mastiff Baby—to do some digging and root out whoever's behind the killings . . .
