Welcome to Pecan Grove, Georgia-a town where the courthouse dome shines like a lantern at dawn, casseroles solve as many problems as committees, and every bake sale hides more than recipes.
For Jo Mercer, coming home to reopen Blessed & Buttered bakery was supposed to mean second chances and clean slates. Instead, her very first church fundraiser back turns into chaos: a celebrity judge collapses mid-bite, the nut-free kitchen station isn’t as safe as it should be, and whispers about sabotage threaten to scorch Jo’s hard-won reputation before the lemon bars have even cooled.
Armed with a whisk, a clipboard, and her stubborn sense of hospitality, Jo refuses to let gossip decide the truth. With Deputy Mariah King at her side (and a very opinionated polydactyl cat keeping watch from the bakery counter), Jo maps out the fellowship hall like a crime scene: cups placed left or right, cords taped down in neat blue lines, every ramekin and recipe card a possible clue. Behind the choir’s harmonies and the casserole table’s comfort lies a tangle of motives: financial missteps, old resentments, and one missing EpiPen that should have been there when it mattered most.
Murder at the Mission Bake-Off is the start of The Blessed & Buttered Mysteries-a warm, puzzle-first cozy series where faith and food, friendship and fairness, all matter as much as the final reveal. You’ll meet the “Bakery Six” Jo, her choir-director Aunt Birdie, steady contractor Cal, meticulous city clerk Eden, over-extended Thea, and Mariah, the deputy who believes in both protocols and people. Together they prove that even in the messiest moments, a small town can choose competence, care, and community.
OUR READERS LOVE THE BAKE ALONG FEATURE! Every book in the series includes a bake-along feature: real tested recipes you can make at home while following Jo’s sleuthing. This first volume invites you into the kitchen with two crowd-pleasers straight from the Mission Bake-Off:
