The scent of cinnamon and rising dough filled the airy bakery, morning light catching flour motes like lazy sleuths. Two figures stood behind the counter polishing glass cases that held empty tart shells. "That pie recipe vanished from the safe overnight." "The one with the nutmeg from Martha's garden? Eleanor swore she locked it away." "Her key was on the nail where it always hangs. No forced entry, just absence." "And footprints in the spilled flour by the back door—small, like a woman's slipper." "Could be anyone who knows her habits. This town thrives on sweet secrets." "The mayor's wife stopped by yesterday asking about almond paste supplies. Suspicious timing." "Or old Mr. Hargrove, still sore over last year's contest loss. He mutters about 'unfair spice advantages' at the hardware store." "We need to check the parking lot for tire tracks before the rain comes." "And question the flour delivery boy. He loiters too long near the sourdough starters." A timer dinged softly as one dipped a finger into a cooling glaze, tasting for clues that refused to surface yet.
