Murder by Macaron: A Sweet Spot Mystery (Cupcake Crimes of Maplewood)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

What if the very recipe that could save your dream… ended up being the one that destroyed it?

Clara Bennett had one goal: turn her passion for baking into something real. Her small-town bakery, The Sweet Spot, was supposed to be her fresh start. Then a famous food critic takes one bite of her signature macarons — and collapses in front of the entire town. Overnight, whispers spread, suspicions rise, and Clara finds herself tangled in a mystery she never asked for.

Was it an accident? A tragic allergy? Or deliberate sabotage?

The more she digs, the more dangerous the questions become. Who slipped into her kitchen unnoticed? Why did her best friend lie about her past? Why was the rival baker missing on competition day? And why does the town's quiet police officer seem so determined to prove her innocence?

In Maplewood, the truth is like batter — fold it gently, hide it beneath sweetness, but sooner or later it rises.

Murder by Macaron blends small-town charm, friendship, slow-burn romance, and real bake-at-home recipes into a layered mystery that keeps you guessing until the very last page. Fans of Joanne Fluke, Ellie Alexander, and V.M. Burns will feel right at home — with a twist they won't see coming.

Inside, you'll find:

✔ A heroine whose flaws make her real — and whose courage makes her unforgettable

✔ A mystery packed with secrets, jealousy, and red herrings

✔ A slow-burn spark with the town's police officer

✔ Recipes you can actually bake while you read

✔ A finale that satisfies — then leaves you craving more

This isn't sugar-coated. It's layered with deception, glazed with just enough sweetness to make you believe everything is fine — until it isn't.
