  🥖 Artisan baker Penny Doughlas is rolling out her famous cinnamon rolls when the town's most disliked baking show judge is found dead in her bakery—whacked with her own grandmother's antique rolling pin. The police see a crime of passion, but Penny notices the flour patterns form a suspicious symbol and the victim's tasting notes contain coded critiques of local bakers. With her bakery temporarily closed and the media spinning a half-baked narrative, Penny must prove her innocence before her business is toast. Assisted by her retired baker father and the charming food blogger who's been chronicling her rise to fame, Penny follows a trail of doughy clues. From suspicious kneading techniques that reveal left-handed manipulation to flour blends that don't match any local mill, every baking detail holds significance. But when Penny discovers the victim was secretly writing a tell-all book exposing the baking world's dirty secrets—including recipe theft and sabotaged competitions—she realizes the rolling pin was just the beginning. With the annual Heritage Baking Competition approaching, Penny must separate the wheat from the chaff before the real killer decides to take another whack at justice.

  Volume 2 in The Dung Beetles of Liberia series. In April of 1979, Ken Verrier and his wife, Sam, return to Liberia to buy diamonds. They did not return to get caught up in a rice riot and a coup de'etat. But that's what happens. Ken witnesses and unwittingly participates in a period of Liberia's tumultuous yet poorly documented history---the overthrow of the Tolbert presidency and ultimately the end of the Americo-Liberian one hundred thirty-three years of political and social dominance. Details of President Tolbert's assassination are sketchy, but through Ken's association with his Americo friends from the past, the CIA agents he meets, and the Liberian military he is forced to deal with, a believable scenario emerges. While describing the once beautiful country and a kind and generous people, Meier intertwines terrifying tales of the atrocities committed that account for the future pain of an entire nation.
