Publisher's Synopsis
A murderous Friend or Foe?
When Maddie accompanies her Gran on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to London, she could never have imagined what awaited them.
The run-down castle her mom and stepfather own is targeted by someone who makes it clear that newcomers aren't welcome.
With a murder on their doorstep and old rumors resurfacing, things heat up and not only in the kitchen.
A less than friendly sergeant means Maddie must piece everything together behind his back before the evidence and the killer disappears.
Do the answers lie within the castle walls or in the sleepy village down the road? Or could it concern a family member?
And will Big Red, Maddie's faithful Maine coon cat, forgive her for leaving him behind in Maple Falls?
The Maple Lane Mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a quirky cat-loving bakery owner who discovers she's a talented amateur sleuth.

"Great series. Can't wait for the next book.""I loved the idea of exploring the castle with the hidden passage ways which brought the intriguing plot to life."
Cheryl loves a good mystery filled with feisty heroines and wonderful small towns with heart-warming tales of strong family ties mixed in with a little romance, humor, and delicious recipes. She lives in a quiet suburb of New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, with her wonderful husband, who she married 40+ years ago. (Yes, they were high school sweethearts). With a few children, even more grandchildren, and a rascally pup to keep her young, she loves family times, baking, dining out, and travel.
