In the mountain town of Wildcreek, Idaho, secrets bloom faster than St. John's Wort... and some are far more deadly. All former investigator Afton Laurie wants is peace, quiet, and a reliable cup of tea. But when an antique cake basket is sold to a quiet farmhand with a mysterious past, it sets off a chain of gossip, grudges, and dangerously tangled histories. As the town prepares for its annual St. John's Wort Festival, tensions rise - and so does the body count. With Wildcreek's locals stirring up trouble faster than a spoon in a teacup, Afton is pulled into a mystery she didn't ask for... but might be the only one who can solve. With quirky characters, herbal intrigue, and a hint of danger, Chaos in a Cake Basket is the first in a charming new series where small-town secrets refuse to stay buried.
