A Syllabus of Sweet Sabotage
In Sugarmill Hollow, sweetness has always come at a price.
Elara Voss built The Hollow Crumb from nothing - flour-dusted hands, copper pans, and a reputation for desserts that tell the truth. She also built the town's Sweet Syllabus program: a series of lectures teaching her community to taste the difference between honest sugar and the kind that coats your tongue with a story it can't back up.
Then a corporate investor arrives with a glossy partnership, a new product line, and an experimental syrup that no one was supposed to notice.
When Elara's investigation partner turns up dead on the production floor - his mouth stained with a syrup that officially doesn't exist - the sweet partnership starts to taste very wrong indeed. Now Elara is reading a different kind of syllabus. One written in blacked-out incident reports, missing batch logs, and an internal memo filed under a category that makes her blood run cold: Sabotage Resilience Modeling. Someone has been testing how much a town can swallow before it stops asking questions.
They chose the wrong town. Alongside Dax Mercer - the guarded, straight-talking vineyard owner who keeps ending up on Elara's side even when it costs him - and a circle of unlikely allies, Elara sets out to teach Sugarmill Hollow the most important lesson in her curriculum: how to recognize sabotage when it's dressed up as sweetness. In a town where everyone knows everyone's business except the most important things, the truth is written in the recipe.
You just have to know how to read it. Book Two of the Hollow Crumb Series - culinary cozy mystery with slow-burn romance, small-town charm, and the kind of quiet danger that hides in plain sight. For fans of Joanne Fluke, Diane Mott Davidson, and Laura Childs.
