Morning light spilled through the window onto the checkerboard floor. “You’re early today. The raisin bread isn’t even out of the oven yet.” “Couldn’t sleep. Kept thinking about that stray note slipped under my door last night.” “The one about the missing pie plate from the church social? Everyone and their grandmother has a theory.” “It said the plate would turn up if the blueberry cobbler recipe stayed locked away. Weird, right? Especially since old Mrs. Haversham tore the place apart looking for hers.” Steam hissed as the coffee pot finished its cycle. A cat claimed a sunbeam near the display cases. Outside, the church bells chimed eight. “You don’t suppose someone is trying to hide more than a recipe? That plate belonged to the mayor’s grandmother. Silver, engraved. Worth a fortune to the right collector.” “Phooey. This town’s biggest scandal is usually burnt cookies. Still… the note was written in the same blue ink as the one that turned up with the missing candlesticks last spring.” “Pass me that dish towel. These pans are hot. If you’re so curious, maybe we should take a closer look at who buys the most blueberry jam around here.” “Already got a list. Care to share a sticky bun while we figure out the next move?”
