She wanted to serve pastries, not prison time. In the snowy shadows of 1954 Liechtenstein, Theodora Papadakis runs a tiny Greek-Alpine bakery known for its legendary golden honey spirals. But when a powerful Austrian official dies—face-first in her dessert platter—Thea becomes the prime suspect in a murder she definitely didn’t bake into the recipe. Armed with her apron, her cat Loukoumi, and an endless supply of pastries stashed in her pockets, Thea must unravel a plot of revenge, refugee secrets, and wartime betrayals. As diplomats panic and suspects multiply, Thea’s sharp wit—and sharper palate—might be the only thing that can solve the mystery before someone else ends up glazed and dead. Cozy, clever, and filled with mouthwatering detail, Death by Golden Honey Spirals is the delicious first entry in a new culinary mystery series where the dough rises—and so does the body count.
