“Book Descriptions: Although their Scottish bakehouse, Bread on Arrival, is a recent addition to Loch Mallaig, Michigan, Molly Ferris, Carol MacCallan, and Laura Donovan feel like part of the family in their adopted town. The bakery already boasts a long line of regular customers, including the cantankerous matriarch of a local clan, Kathleen Ferguson, who pinches every penny and rubs most folks the wrong way. One morning, Kathleen’s teenage grandson tracks her down at the bakehouse with the mother of all grisly news: Human bones were discovered hidden in her basement wall, and they appear to have been put there by a killer.
In the ensuing uproar, Kathleen commands Molly to investigate the skeleton’s sinister origins. Unfortunately, the top suspects all seem to be related to Kathleen, and each one is a chip off the ill-tempered block. Between getting caught in the crossfire of sibling rivalry and trying to navigate Kathleen’s mercurial moods, Molly struggles to make any headway in her search.
Molly may feel as though she’s getting nowhere in her hunt for the truth, but somebody clearly thinks she’s digging too deep into the past, and they’ll do anything to stop her—even endanger her and her loved ones. Undaunted by the bad blood, however, Molly continues her pursuit of the killer. But can she uncover the clan’s darkest secret before someone else is imperiled, or will she find herself strangled by the ties that bind?” DRIVE
