About the book
Welcome to Torte - a cozy, small-town bakery where the treats are so delicious that they should be illegal...
After completing her culinary studies, Juliet Capshaw returns to her charming hometown of Ashland, Oregon, to mend a broken heart and assist her mother at the family bakery. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is attracting many visitors in search of pastries to enjoy alongside their Shakespearean verses. However, when a customer of Torte is found dead, there is a lot of commotion surrounding the murder...
"Sure to please both passionate food enthusiasts and avid mystery fans."
--Jessie Crockett, author of Drizzled with Death
The victim is Nancy Hudson, the festival's recent addition to the board. A contemporary Lady Macbeth, Nancy has provided plenty of reasons for actors and artists to want her gone... but still. The positive aspect? Jules's former high school love, Thomas, is the detective handling the case. His charming advances are as irresistible as ever, leaving Jules torn between wanting to indulge and wanting justice. Will she get what she deserves? Murder may be detrimental to business, but love is the ultimate reward...
"Alexander spins a delightful story of deception, family bonds, delectable pastries, and homicide." Edith Maxwell, author of A Tine to Live, A Tine to Die
