Amateur sleuth and gifted baker Evelyn Crumb discovers that the victim had been collecting other people’s secrets, carefully recording every scandal, betrayal and long-buried grudge.

But someone is determined to keep the past firmly sealed—and Evelyn’s questions may have placed her next on the murderer’s list. Warm, witty and deliciously mysterious, A Rolling Pin for Secrets is a cosy mystery filled with village rivalries, tempting bakes, eccentric suspects and one particularly well-kneaded crime.
