Find out more about Wren & Whisker Mysteries
A magical bakery. A poisoned tart. And one very inconvenient thirty-year-old secret.
At forty-two, Ivy Wren is ready for a fresh start.
She’s returned to the charming town of Honeyridge Hollow to reopen her grandmother’s cottage as Wren & Whisker, a cozy bakery where cinnamon, sugar, and just a little kitchen magic come together. With her sharp-tongued black cat familiar, Hobbes, supervising every batch, Ivy hopes her grand opening will finally prove she belongs.
Then the town’s formidable Judge Nan Perrell takes one bite of Ivy’s signature Cinnamon Cream Tart—and collapses in front of everyone.
Suddenly, Ivy’s dream bakery is a crime scene.
The police have questions. The townspeople are whispering. Her business is in jeopardy. And Ivy knows something Detective Cole doesn’t: the tart wasn’t simply poisoned. It was magically sabotaged.
Hidden beneath the pastry is a binding sigil tied to an old and dangerous secret—one that leads Ivy straight into her grandmother’s mysterious past and a forgotten agreement known as the Pastry Pact.
The deeper Ivy digs, the stranger things become.
A hidden recipe. A magical bracelet. A decades-old scandal. A town that may have forgotten far more than it realizes. And someone who seems determined to make sure certain secrets stay buried.
With Hobbes providing unsolicited commentary, a suspiciously attentive detective watching her every move, and her family’s kitchen magic becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, Ivy must unravel what happened years ago before the past destroys the new life she’s worked so hard to build.
Because in Honeyridge Hollow, some secrets are baked in—and some recipes should never be made twice.
Wren & Whisker Mysteries is a warm and witty paranormal cozy mystery filled with magical baking, small-town secrets, quirky suspects, an irresistible feline familiar, family history, humor, and a gentle hint of romance.
