Everyone swears by Yeast of Eden, the Mexican bread shop in town. But tonight, the only thing on the menu is la muerte . . .
Struggling photographer Ivy Culpepper has lots of soul-searching to do since returning to seaside Santa Sofia, California. That is, until the thirty-six-year-old enters a bread making class at Yeast of Eden. Whether it’s the aroma of fresh conchas in the oven, or her instant connection with owner Olaya Solis, Ivy just knows the missing ingredients in her life are hidden among the secrets of Olaya’s bakery . . .
But Ivy’s spirits crumble when a missing classmate is suddenly discovered dead in her car. Even more devastating, the prime suspect is Olaya Solis herself. Doubting the woman could commit such a crime, Ivy embarks on a murder investigation of her own to prove her innocence and seize the real killer. As she follows a deadly trail of crumbs around town, Ivy must trust her gut like never before—or someone else could be toast!

Review of Kneaded to Death
Review (4 Stars): Kneaded to Death was a charming culinary mystery that will definitely have me coming back for more. I loved meeting Ivy and the colorful cast of characters that resided in Santa Sofia and this mystery definitely had me guessing right along with Ivy. This mystery was well-written and entertaining and a great start to a brand new series. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next for Ivy as she settles back into life in this delightful little seaside town.
