When a rockstar is murdered at the town's summer concert, River Grove's mayor and chief part ways over the arrest.Can Gracie solve the crime herself without compromising her secret identity?
It's a hot summer in the small town of River Grove in the Northern California redwoods. Laughing Loaf Bakery owner Gracie Markley and her assistant Beck Rodriguez take on their second catering gig: an outdoor reunion concert featuring hometown boy Noah Thornton Bell and his folk-rock band The Bellbirds. When Bell is murdered before the encore, Gracie learns the truth about the musician's shady past. Chief Westerman makes an arrest that splits his longtime alliance with the town's Mayor C. And Mayor C has a past connection with the rockstar she doesn't want to talk about...
With the help of her dog and her best friend, Gracie investigates the murder, while trying to maintain the peace in River Grove and keep her witness protection identity a secret--in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business. Laughing Loaf Bakery recipes included.
