Picture this: the idyllic island of Nantucket, where the air is thick with the scent of baked goods and... murder? When the unthinkable happens—our ten-time reigning Baking Champion, whose last name is Coffin, is found dead right before the highly anticipated Annual Decadents on Deck!—the local charm takes a dark twist.

With resentment simmering and greed bubbling, everyone suddenly has a motive, making it hard to tell bakers from villains.

Enter Max "Mr. Divabetic" Szadek, our delusional baker and amateur sleuth. He's managed to turn chaos into an art form, but even he's taken aback when the local police decide he looks suspicious after just one unfortunate meeting with the late champion. Seriously, it's not easy juggling a recent escape from a murderous mishap in New York and now having to scrounge through Nantucket's dark secrets—like trying to bake a soufflé in a hurricane!

Along with his quirky friends, Best-Selling Author Tonya Kappes, and his ever-nosy mother, Mama Rose Marie, Max is determined to uncover the truth. But can this group of unlikely detectives track down the real murderer before the next slice of chaos—or worse, another victim—hits the sweet scene?
