Rolling Pin Riddle, The: A Cozy Mystery of Floured Facts and a Kneaded Narrative

?? Artisan baker Penny Doughlas is rolling out her famous cinnamon rolls when the town's most disliked baking show judge is found dead in her bakery—whacked with her own grandmother's antique rolling pin. The police see a crime of passion, but Penny notices the flour patterns form a suspicious symbol and the victim's tasting notes contain coded critiques of local bakers. With her bakery temporarily closed and the media spinning a half-baked narrative, Penny must prove her innocence before her business is toast. Assisted by her retired baker father and the charming food blogger who's been chronicling her rise to fame, Penny follows a trail of doughy clues. From suspicious kneading techniques that reveal left-handed manipulation to flour blends that don't match any local mill, every baking detail holds significance. But when Penny discovers the victim was secretly writing a tell-all book exposing the baking world's dirty secrets—including recipe theft and sabotaged competitions—she realizes the rolling pin was just the beginning. With the annual Heritage Baking Competition approaching, Penny must separate the wheat from the chaff before the real killer decides to take another whack at justice.
