Caramel Creme Killer

Paradise found. Murder included.
When cupcake baker Melissa Gladstone-Beckett traded small-town Louisiana life for the sunny shores of Calgon, Florida, she envisioned lazy beach days, friendly neighbors, and a fresh start with her husband, Detective Chas Beckett.
What she didn't expect was murder.
When one of Calgon's most respected and influential citizens is found dead, shockwaves ripple through the close-knit coastal community. Everyone knew the victim. Everyone admired them. And everyone seems to have a secret.
As rumors spread and suspects emerge from every corner of town, Missy finds herself drawn into an investigation that becomes more complicated-and more dangerous-by the day. Beneath the charming beach-town atmosphere lies a tangled web of jealousy, greed, betrayal, and long-buried grudges.
With the local police stretched thin and tensions rising, Missy follows a trail of clues that leads her deep into the heart of the community she has only just begun to call home. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the killer may be willing to strike again to keep their secrets buried.
Can Missy uncover the murderer before another resident becomes the next victim? Or will her search for answers place her directly in the killer's path?
