In the historic streets of Gloucester, beneath the shadow of Gloucester Cathedral, a small cupcake shop hides more than sweet treats.
Margaret Ellery, a retired pastry chef, returns to reopen Butter & Crumb, expecting a slower pace of life. Instead, she discovers a hollow rolling pin containing a cryptic message and a clue to a long-buried secret.
Before she can unravel it, tragedy strikes.
At the grand reopening, a food critic collapses after tasting a single cupcake. Not the whole batch-just one.
Margaret knows immediately: this was no accident.
Using her precision, observational skills, and understanding of subtle detail, she begins to uncover a mystery tied to the past-one involving stolen recipes, fractured partnerships, and long-held resentment.
As suspicion spreads, Margaret must navigate a close-knit community where everyone knows each other-and no one tells the full truth.
Perfect for fans of cosy British mysteries, small-town intrigue, and food-themed crime, A Rolling Pin for Secrets delivers a satisfying, slow-burn mystery filled with atmosphere, character, and clever deduction.
