Welcome back to Cinnamon Falls, the town where the bakes are sweet, the secrets are sticky, and the romance is pumpkin spiced. The Maple Bakery Murder is the third instalment in the must-read Cinnamon Falls series and is perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Pretty Little Liars and the Dream Harbor series.
Ginger Mills is the new girl in town.
She’s ready to start afresh in Cinnamon Falls, focus on herself and bake seasonal sweet treats in her beautifully renovated bakery. Although her infuriatingly handsome contractor, Austin, is already proving an unwanted distraction…
When a body is discovered in her bakery one morning, Ginger’s fresh start goes up in smoke and the town begins to gossip. Who is this new girl? Could she be a killer? Only Austin seems to believe in her innocence.
As the connection between them begins to heat up, Ginger and Austin must follow the crumbs and unmask the real killer… before it’s too late.

About the Author
R. L. Killmore is the pseudonym for US-based author Necole Ryse. Necole has been writing since she was four years old, when she triumphantly wrote her ABC's on the hood of her grandmother's brand new Volvo. When she's not writing, she's weeping into a stack of unfinished manuscripts, abandoning exercise regimens, scolding innocent children in libraries, or listening to other people's conversations.
