Sugar and spice and everything nice—except when it includes a killer with a sweet tooth for murder.

When a national baking TV show descends on Gloamington, amateur bakers compete for fame and fortune. But when something goes wrong, and one of the contestants dies, Malcolm and Ella suspect that more than just the recipes were off.

The detective pair must search for a murderer in a maze of chaos where nothing is what it seems. However, murder isn’t their only concern . . .

As Malcolm races against time to recover the memories that hold the key to his past, Ella stands on the brink of entering the treacherous Gloaming to save his wife, Elaine. But discovering her true identity could shatter everything she believes about herself and cost her the only family she's ever known.

Can Ella and Malcolm catch a killer before the final bake-off? Or will murder, magic, and devastating revelations destroy everything they’ve built together?
