Publisher(s): Joffe Books

Pippa – enjoying her new life as a baker in Brittany after leaving the rat race in London – is out on her rounds, delivering delicious crusty bread to her loyal customers. Her first stop is Derek’s riverside home. Fitness instructor Derek sees carbs as the enemy. But even he can’t resist Pippa’s signature baguettes. Pippa cycles to Derek’s door . . . only to discover, someone got there first. Derek is dead! His body lies slumped across the piano, in a mess of blood and — to Pippa’s horror — breadcrumbs. He’s been bludgeoned over the head with . . . a lethal stick of bread? Just like that, Pippa finds the finger of suspicion pointing at her. Can she follow the trail of crumbs to uncover the true killer — before more of her friends and neighbours die?
