SYNOPSIS

When Sophie Maxwell drops off a homemade blackberry cobbler to her cranky neighbor Gil Darnell, she doesn’t expect it to be his last meal.

By morning, Gil is gone—and her recipe is the main suspect.

Now the talk of the Farmers Market, Sophie is desperate to clear her name. But the cobbler wasn’t just any dessert—it was her grandmother’s recipe, tied to a decades-old orchard feud, a missing Will, and secrets long buried beneath Whisper Ridge soil.

With her loyal border collie Cooper sniffing out trouble and retired detective Charles Grant at her side, Sophie follows a trail of recipe cards, cryptic ledgers, and jars of preserves that may not be so sweet after all. Add in a carved blackberry token and a mysterious Queen of Spades card, and it’s clear Whisper Ridge isn’t ready to let its past go.

Someone wants the truth to stay buried—and they’ve already sent Sophie a The wrong heir always pays.

The answers are baked between layers of red herrings and false crumbs.

Because in Whisper Ridge, the fruit isn’t the only thing with bite.
