Muffin But the Truth: A Bakeshop Mystery Spiral-Bound | December 27, 2022

Ashland is known for its Elizabethan charm and touches of Shakespeare around every corner, but the surrounding Rogue Valley draws adventure enthusiasts to its outdoor wonderland of high alpine lakes, mountain ranges, and pristine rivers. Jules Capshaw and the team at Torte have an adventure of their own as they’ve been hired to cater a weekend getaway on the mighty Rogue River. Jules is going to have to put her culinary skills to the test while baking gooey chocolate chip skillet cookies over an open flame and preparing extravagant feasts under a canopy of stars.

The executive team at Bamboo will be rafting the Rogue’s rapids and gathering around the campfire for an evening of spooky stories. This isn’t your average backpacking trip. The banks of the stunning river have been transformed with high-end glamping yurts and a full outdoor kitchen. Jules is up to the task, but the dysfunctional team at Bamboo is up to trouble. Between constant bickering and heavy drinking, Jules wonders how the team can accomplish anything. She’s happy for a brief reprieve when they zip up their lifejackets and head out to tackle Class IV rapids, but the serenity of nature quickly vanishes when Jules discovers one of Bamboo’s execs floating face down in the water. She’s going to have to solve the case before she gets pulled under.
