Darci Hannah Synopses: Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop by Darci Hannah is the first book in the Beacon Bakeshop Mysteries series. Lindsey’s dream of turning a run-down lighthouse into a bakery café is her fresh start after a painful breakup. With her Newfoundland dog, Wellington, by her side, she’s ready to embrace life in the charming beach town that held her happiest childhood memories. But not everyone is excited about her new venture.

The local preservation society protests her modern touches, and her Memorial Day opening is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of her ex-fiancé, Jeffrey, and his new girlfriend, Mia. The scene turns tragic when Mia dies after choking on a donut, later revealed to have been laced with cyanide.

Now the prime suspect, Lindsey must use her wits—and the secrets of the town’s past—to uncover the truth and save her bakery from becoming her final recipe for disaster.

A Fatal Feast at Bramsford Manor by Darci Hannah is the first book in the Food and Spirits Mystery series. Chef Bridget “Bunny” MacBride never imagined her cooking debut would involve ghosts—or a murder. As the star of the new reality TV show Food & Spirits, Bunny teams up with ghost hunter Brett Bloom and psychic medium Giff McGrady to visit haunted locales and recreate historic meals to lure spirits to the table.

For their first episode, the team heads to Bramsford Manor, a famously haunted English estate, to investigate the tragic tale of the Mistletoe Bride, a young woman who died on her Christmas wedding night. Bunny focuses on crafting a traditional holiday feast, hoping her prime rib and apple tarts will tempt the spectral bride.

But when a missing boning knife from Bunny’s kit is found in the chest of a dinner guest, the haunting takes a backseat to a fresh murder investigation. Now the lead suspect, Bunny must work with Brett, Giff, and her clairvoyant Grandma Mac to uncover the killer among the living before Bramsford Manor claims another ghostly resident.

Cherry Pies & Deadly Lies by Darci Hannah is the first book in the Very Cherry Mysteries series. Whitney Bloom is on the rise in Chicago with her cherry-themed baked goods when an urgent call pulls her back home to Door County, Wisconsin. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival at her family’s Cherry Orchard Inn has turned tragic—a murder beneath the blossoms, with her father as the prime suspect.

Racing to her family’s aid, Whitney’s troubles deepen when she learns that Jack MacLaren, her high school nemesis, is now Cherry Cove’s only police officer. Determined to clear her father’s name, Whitney sets aside her cherry pies to investigate the crime herself, matching wits with Jack and unearthing secrets that could shake the small town.

Will Whitney find the real killer before the festival’s finale, or will her father’s fate—and the orchard’s future—fall to pieces?
