Cinnamon Clues & Stolen Kisses: A Cozy Mystery Romance from Crestwood Hollow
Clara Blake
Some secrets hide in plain sight. Some hide in the bread dough.
Ana Vasquez has run her late mother's bakery in the small town of Crestwood Hollow for two years—baking the same recipes, keeping the same hours, and carefully avoiding the seven recipe cards she is not yet ready to make. Her life is quiet, ordered, and entirely under control.
Until she finds a sunflower locket buried in her brioche dough at 4:17 in the morning.
Detective Jack Harlan arrives with his notebook, his coffee, and the particular calm of a man who has seen most things before and is quietly preparing himself for the possibility that he has not seen this. He notices the locket before Ana tells him where to look. She notices that he notices.
Neither of them is ready for what comes next.
What begins as a stolen piece of jewelry and a missing prize pumpkin slowly unravels into a thirty-year scheme built on debt, desperation, and a dead man's records hidden under the oldest tree in town. As the Harvest Festival counts down and the clues multiply, Ana and Jack find themselves in the oldest kind of trouble—the kind where solving the case means risking something neither of them planned to lose.
Warm, witty, and quietly devastating in all the right places, Cinnamon Clues & Stolen Kisses is a slow-burn romance wrapped inside a cozy mystery, set in a small town that smells of cinnamon and October and the particular sweetness of things finally found.
For fans of Joanne Fluke, Misha Popp, and Jesse Q. Sutanto.
