Cookies and Chaos: A Small Town Culinary Cozy Mystery

Baker Madeline “Maddie” Flynn thought helping the sheriff’s twin nephews with their cookie fundraiser would be sweet and simple. But when strange vandalism and a shocking death rattle the community center, it’s clear Maple Falls has more on its plate than sugar and spice.

Determined to protect her town—and the kids—Maddie dives headfirst into the investigation. With her feisty Gran, her circle of loyal girlfriends, and Big Red, her mischievous Maine Coon, she stirs through a mix of secrets, scams, and suspects. The sheriff might be handsome, but even he can’t keep her out of the kitchen—or the crime scene.

Can Maddie sift through the clues before another tragedy strikes? Or has she bitten off more than she can chew?

🐾 The Maple Lane Mysteries are perfect for fans of culinary cozy mysteries, clever amateur sleuths, and small-town charm—always served with a dash of humor and a whisker of mischief.
