Becky Robinson’s first courtroom case is turning into a legal circus. A notorious thief claims he was hypnotized into committing the crime—an excuse so wild even Hollywood would reject it. But as Becky digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of deception that suggests he might actually be innocent. The real problem? Convincing a jury before it’s too late.

But just when she’s ready for a break, a sleepy coastal town serves up another mystery—this time with a side of apple turnovers. A local bookstore owner is convinced her baker ex-husband is trying to kill her. The town dismisses it as fiction—until a skeleton turns up covered in flour. Undercover at the bakery, Becky must separate the sweet from the sinister before the killer serves up another victim.

With summer heating up and suspects piling higher than a stack of pancakes, can Becky solve both cases before she’s toast?
