The Murder of a Living Ghost : A race to catch a killer before the heart stops
Overview
A dead man's secret is the deadliest ingredient.
Lydia Blake came to the mist-covered cliffs of Driftwood Cove for a second chance. As the owner of the Lemon Tart Caf , she traded high-stakes city life for the scent of fresh sourdough and the rhythmic crash of the Atlantic. But in a town built on secrets, the past never stays buried.
When Lydia discovers a desperate plea for help hidden inside her locked flour bin, her quiet life vanishes. The message is from Julian Vane-a man the town declared dead five years ago.
A Living Ghost. A Dying Heart. A Race Against the Clock.Julian is a man on the run, hunted by "The Vulture," a predator who doesn't leave witnesses. With a failing heart and a target on his back, Julian's only hope lies in a trail of cryptic cake recipes left for Lydia to decode. Each ingredient in the "Bitter Almond Cake" is a blueprint for a conspiracy that reaches the highest pillars of the community.
To save a man who shouldn't exist, Lydia must team up with:
Detective Leo Vance: The brooding investigator with a dark past and an electric, slow-burn connection to Lydia.
The Knitting and Nibbling Club: Driftwood Cove's sharpest (and oldest) intelligence agency, who know exactly where the bodies are buried.
The "Recipe" Code: Put your sleuthing skills to the test as you decipher clues hidden within gourmet bakes.
Atmospheric Coastal Setting: Explore fog-drenched docks, secret tunnels, and the eerie shadows of an abandoned clock tower.
High-Stakes Suspense: Every heartbeat is a countdown. If Lydia can't sift through the lies, a "living ghost" will become a permanent one.
Small-Town Secrets: Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Louise Penny, blending cozy charm with a gritty, heart-pounding edge.
In Driftwood Cove, the truth isn't just hidden-it's lethal. Can Lydia solve the puzzle before the final grain of sand falls, or will she be the next one the town tries to forget?
