The Whisking Hour

About the book

Get ready for another scrumptious addition to the Bakeshop Series, this time set in the picturesque town of Ashland, Oregon!

With fall in full swing, baker Juliet Capshaw is looking forward to enjoying the season with a night out at the theater. Renowned theater director Lance Rousseau, one of Jules' closest friends, has put his own unique twist on a production of the Broadway classic Perfect Crime. The audience is transported to a cozy New York apartment where a cunning group of suspects executes the perfect murder. As the final show approaches, Jules and her team at Torte are busy preparing a delectable feast for the cast party, featuring delicious treats like panna cotta eyeballs with blood orange coulis, deviled eggs, and savory cheese fingers with pumpkin dipping sauce.

On the night of the party, a storm sweeps over the Siskiyou Mountains, bringing gusty winds and relentless rain. The atmosphere inside the theater crackles with excitement as the lights flicker and the actors take the stage. Once the final curtain falls, the cast gathers in Carpenter Hall for a night of revelry. However, when a body is discovered in the dressing room, Jules can't help but wonder if she has witnessed a real-life perfect crime.
