Francis Desmarais, the town's cherished baker and accidental detective, is whisking up a storm of traditional Irish treats, her kitchen a whirl of festive flavors.
But the luck of the Irish seems to have run out when a visiting historian, delving into the town's Celtic roots, is found dead under mysterious circumstances. Was it a tragic accident, or is there something more sinister lurking beneath the surface?
Francis, with her blend of culinary skills and detective instincts, joins forces once again with Detective Ed McCoy, her good friend with Irish roots and a family hisotry of his own. Together, they embark on a journey through Harmony Bay's past, stirring up long-forgotten grudges and secrets as old as the town itself. As they unravel the tangled history of the town's Irish ancestors, Francis and Isaac discover that some secrets were meant to be kept hidden.
