With her cannabis café getting higher-than-high online reviews--and skyrocketing sales--Chloe Barnes discovers that sudden success can leave one killer burn . . .
THE FIRST-EVER CULINARY COZY MYSTERY SERIES WITH A (LEGAL) CANNABIS TWIST!
Chloe still can't believe the magic carpet ride her life has become. From a career-and-romantic crash-and-burn as a Parisian pastry chef, she turned things around by starting the Baked by Chloe cannabis café in her seaside hometown of Azalea Bay, California. Now one of the town’s hottest spots, the café has earned a coveted booth in the Bay's famous summer ice cream festival and Chloe is excited to introduce her cannabis-infused flavors. Plus, a rave review by influential podcaster and food critic Calista Bryant is sending Chloe's sales into orbit—with no bad vibes in sight . . .
Until Chloe finds Calista sprawled toes-up under an ice cream food truck—as dead as the Wicked Witch of the West. With so much already on her plate, Chloe is determined to avoid sleuthing this go-round. But when rival café owner and suspect Starr Bright asks Chloe to help prove she’s innocent, she’s soon hip-deep in the many enemies, competitors, and ex-friends the ruthlessly opinionated Calista was expert at racking up. And now Chloe is heading for what could be a life-ending buzz-kill—courtesy of one insidious murderer . . .
“This fun and fact-filled thematic entry into the cozy mystery genre has it all… With increasing acceptance of cannabis as a supplement to medical care, this series starter helps normalize its use and promotes safe consumption, complete with designated drivers. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, STARRED review for A Half-Baked Murder

While flying high on the success of her cannabis café, Chloe Barnes once again finds herself on the trail of a low-down murderer in this cozy mystery from Emily George.
THE FIRST-EVER CULINARY COZY MYSTERY SERIES WITH A (LEGAL) CANNABIS TWIST!
What a long, strange trip it’s been for Chloe. After her dream of becoming a Parisian pastry chef—and a wife—crashed and burned, she returned home to the seaside town of Azalea Bay, California and opened a cannabis café. Despite some residents’ misgivings about how such a business may affect the community’s reputation, Baked by Chloe has become a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Nothing mellows out people like sweet edibles and frothy drinks with a dash of CBD.
But when it comes to surfers, the only high they want to ride is on a wave. The annual summer Azalea Bay Pro Challenger Surf Competition is underway, and fan favorite Aaron Gill is treading water. Plagued by professional and personal pressures, he finds himself no longer a top contender, and everyone is saddened when he takes his own life.
But his best friend Ethan Wilson knows that despite Aaron’s difficulties, suicide was not on his mind, and he begs Chloe to investigate. Against her better judgment, Chloe dives in and discovers Aaron was surrounded by people motivated enough to help him wipe out—permanently . . .
