Livia J Washburn recommends

How the Murder Crumbles (2023)
(Cookie Shop Mystery, book 1)
Debra Sennefelder
"A scrumptious cozy mystery with interesting friends, family, and to die for cookies."
thumb
Live and Let Chai (2018)
(Seaside Cafe Mysteries, book 1)
Bree Baker
"A smart and likable protagonist, a vividly rendered setting, a suitably twisty plot, and some colorful supporting characters are the ingredients for a concoction as appealing as any of Everly Swan's specialty sweet teas. I can't wait to try out some of her recipes and to visit this delightful series again."
