I jumped right into book four of the Baker's Rise Mysteries by R.A. Hutchins after finishing the previous story of the series. “Muffin Ventured, Muffin Gained” didn’t disappoint! It is full of both cosy and unsettling moments, characters to love and to hate, and, of course, yet another murder mystery to solve. With every next book... Continue Reading →
