Frosted Bait is the third delectable installment in the Bison Creek Mysteries by A. Gardner, blending small-town charm, delicious desserts, and a sprinkle of murder. In this cozy mystery, Essie Stratter is back—this time juggling her dessert shop’s growing popularity with yet another unexpected twist: a dead body… and a trail of frosted clues.

When a local fishing competition reels in more than just trout—namely, a corpse—Essie finds herself once again tangled in a mystery that threatens her peace, her pastries, and her hometown’s reputation. As gossip brews faster than her coffee and suspects pile up like cakes in the oven, Essie must use her wits (and perhaps a few sugar-dusted distractions) to crack the case before the real killer escapes the net.

With a lively cast of quirky townspeople, laugh-out-loud moments, and enough plot twists to keep you flipping pages, Frosted Bait delivers a fun, flavorful read. The story strikes the perfect balance between suspense and sweetness, making it an ideal cozy mystery for readers who love amateur sleuths, culinary delights, and heartwarming small-town settings.
