Once celebrated for her show-stopping pastries and irresistible desserts, former celebrity chef Laura Harris is now making headlines for a far darker reason.
Laura has been accused of murdering her best friend.
How could this petite chef have brutally smothered the beloved small-town matriarch, World War II ferry pilot veteran, Hattie Stenburg? Hattie wasn’t just a pillar of the community; she was Laura’s confidant and mentor. If only Hattie’s will hadn’t included recent changes, bypassing next of kin and leaving Laura her entire fortune and historic Southern estate.
As Laura scrambles to clear her name, she uncovers sinister secrets lurking beneath the town’s idyllic surface. The real murderer is always one step ahead, leaving taunting clues and threatening Laura to leave Texas—or face deadly consequences. With time not a luxury, Laura must untangle the web of deceit before the assailant makes her the next victim.
In “A Hush at Midnight,” Marlene M. Bell twists a cozy crime mystery into a race against the clock to solve her mentor’s murder and find the killer.
