Strudels and Suspicion: The Old World Bakery Mysteries

The bakery is open. The body is fresh. And the dachshund heard it happen.Anni Weber didn't move to Eden Falls, Vermont for the mystery. She moved for the silence — the kind that lets flour settle, sourdough rise, and a former life in Copenhagen stay where she left it. Then a man dies in her cream vat on opening week. The sheriff tapes off her Backstube. And the readings on her molecular scanner — the device everyone assumes is just an unusual watch — start pointing somewhere very old, very deep, and very much beneath the floor she's been standing on.Something is buried under Eden Falls. It's been there since 1952. And now that Anni's bakery is directly above it, it's everybody's problem. A molecular auditor turned baker. A dachshund who can hear what's buried three floors down. A small town with a very long memory and a very short tolerance for outsiders who ask the right questions.Strudels and Suspicion is the first book in The Old World Bakery Mysteries — a culinary cozy with a paranormal edge and a techno-thriller backbone, set in the kind of New England town where the coffee is strong, the archives are locked, and the apple strudel is always worth the detour.Perfect for anyone who loves small-town mysteries, animal companions with unusual gifts, and a side of classified government documents.
