A missing cat. A baffling crime. And a baker with a talent for solving mysteries.

When Maddie's beloved cat, Big Red, is petnapped, she's devastated. But he's not the only one -- other pets in Maple Falls have vanished, leaving their owners heartbroken. Maddie knows animals are family, and she won't rest until she finds them.

Then, a body turns up behind her bakery, and the town's attention shifts. With the police -- including her ex, the town sheriff -- focused on the murder, no one seems to care about the missing pets.

Maddie refuses to sit on the sidelines. With her feisty Gran, a close-knit group of friends, and a few unexpected clues, she's determined to crack the case -- before it's too late.

5* "Good series if you just need to switch off from reality and escape!"
"Enjoyed this book, very engaging and hard to put down. Had to finish it all at once, not easy to stop at any spot besides the ending!" - KC

"I am so enjoying the Maple Lane Mysteries. I love the fact of Maddie, the main character, is a strong young woman. I also love that she is very close to her 70-year-old grandmother who raised her and is still very close to her friends. Such a good cozy mystery." - Jean Dutcher

"This was fantastic! This story was really good and involved and yes lots of cooking and snooping, oh yes and murder and kidnapping!" - Jean

C. A. (Cheryl) writes mysteries filled with feisty heroines and wonderful small towns, adding heart-warming tales of strong family ties, a dash of romance, a dusting of humor and delicious recipes. She lives in a quiet suburb of New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, with her wonderful husband, who she married the moment she left school (yes, they were high school sweethearts!). With a few children, and even more grandchildren, to keep her youngish, she loves family, one crazy puppy, baking, coffee, chocolate, and searching for the perfect latte!
