The ovens are hot, the coffee’s fresh, and The Laughing Loaf Bakery is ready to reopen with a beautiful new dining room, a quirky lunch crew, and Beck’s showstopping summer tart. What could go wrong? A lot. Just days before the grand reopening, one of the new hires, the fun-loving Barb D’Amato, is caught snooping in Gracie’s office. The next morning, Gracie discovers Barb’s body in the alley behind the bakery. Suddenly, Gracie’s picture-perfect week is crumbling faster than an overbaked scone. And if murder isn’t enough, her witness protection agents have bad news. A shadowy group of angry Satrovanian dissidents is closing in, desperate for pipeline access codes tied to her tech-spy ex-husband—who told them Gracie has them. During her busiest week ever at the bakery, Gracie must unravel a deadly mystery that threatens her bakery, her freedom, and possibly her life. Can Gracie solve the murder--before she winds up toast herself? Includes Laughing Loaf Bakery recipes.
