4.8

Unified rating from 150 reviewers

I was skeptical about a murder mystery set in a bakery, but this book completely won me over. The dynamic between Benji and Tobi is fantastic—equal parts humorous and heartwarming. The plot twist involving the poisoned apple tart had me gasping, and the small-town atmosphere of Eden's Rise feels so authentic. If you love culinary cozies with a sharp wit, this is a must-read!

Our entire book club voted this as the highlight of our year. The pacing is perfect for a cozy mystery—it keeps you turning pages without being too dark or graphic. The way the author weaves the history of the town's grudges into the investigation is brilliant. I'm already pre-ordering the next book in the Yeast of Eden series!

As a baker myself, I loved the descriptions of the pastries; they made my mouth water even as I read about the crime scene! The mystery was engaging, and the red herrings were clever. I deducted one star only because I wished we got a bit more backstory on the festival's history, but overall, it's a delightful read that balances suspense with charm perfectly.

Professional Baker & Reviewer

This book captures the essence of small-town life better than any other I've read. The characters are flawed yet lovable, and the investigation feels grounded in real human relationships rather than just plot mechanics. The line 'secrets don't just rot—they poison everything they touch' stuck with me long after I finished the last page.

I picked this up on a whim and couldn't put it down. The banter between Benji and Tobi is the highlight for me; it's witty and warm. The mystery itself is satisfying without relying on cheap tricks. It's exactly what a cozy mystery should be: a good story, delicious food descriptions, and a satisfying resolution.

First-Time Reader of the Series

I've seen sales of this title skyrocket since its release, and readers are asking for recommendations constantly. The setup of the 'before the festival bell rings' threat adds a nice sense of urgency. My only critique is that the villain's motive felt a little rushed, but the overall execution of the bakery setting and the sleuths' chemistry makes up for it.
