Better Off Shortbread

With visions of chocolate dipped peanut butter fingers, sour cream jumbles and fruity hand pies, Scottie Ramone’s vintage bakery dream is well on its way to becoming reality. The contractor and his team are hard at work transforming the space. Her shopfront may not be open quite yet, but Scottie is already serving up delicious treats in Ripple Creek. Her buttery shortbread biscuits quickly become a favorite in Roxi’s market.

Summer has come and gone leaving a spectacular fall in its wake. When the Nature Quest Photography Club comes to town, Scottie’s new friend, Cade Rafferty, invites her to join him for a photography class on Blue Jay Ridge. The club is an interesting mix of photographers, both professional and amateur. It’s immediately apparent that there’s no shortage of secrets between the club members. When one of the prominent photographers plunges to his death, suspicions are raised. Was it an unfortunate accident or something more sinister?

Dalton Braddock, Ripple Creek Ranger and Scottie’s longtime crush is called to the scene. Before long, Scottie finds herself deep in her third murder case right alongside the man who still, after all these years, makes her knees quake like jelly.
