Death & Sourdough

     

    I'm Millie Bramley. Baker, observer, and writer of cozy mysteries shaped by sourdough, patience, and small-town life.

    Pull up a chair. There's bread in the oven, tea on the counter, and a story or two worth staying for.

     

    The Sable Cove Mysteries

     

    Some towns you can leave. Sable Cove isn't one of them.

    Nora Ashby came back to settle an estate and sell a leaning curiosity shop. A knock to the head woke a gift the Ashby women have always carried: she can see the dead: and they have a great deal to say.

    Warm, witty, and gently spooky. Brew the tea and pull up a chair; the dead are talking, and someone has to listen.

     

    The Marl Green Reliquary

     

    Four times a year, the hivewarden gives away three months of their life.

    A community that doesn't trust paper records with their history, their decisions, their challenges or their memories, storing it all in the comb that is tended in their hives.

    A series about memory, record-keeping and the cost of being the instrument rather than the witness.

     

    "I've always believed that the best stories, like the best bread, can't be rushed. They need time, warmth, and just the right amount of attention."

    When a nor'easter drowns the causeway and strands nine people at a derelict lighthouse station, Nora Ashby finds the visiting architect dead behind a door bolted on the inside, and for the first time since she learned to speak to the dead, the one ghost who has always helped her is a mile of black water away and cannot come.

    The Marl Green Reliquary

    Annet Cobb has been the hivewarden of Marl Green for twenty-two years, which means four times a year she sits down at an open hive and gives away her account of the quarter just gone. When the colonies on the southern boundary begin to die and her own family hive is found cut back to the rib, the only person who holds the years she has lost is the parish taster, who has stood a yard behind her at every giving for eleven of them, and who would forfeit his office the day he reached for her.
