Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Another mystery book from Kerry Greenwood, internationally bestselling author of the Phryne Fisher mysteries! Betrayal is a bitter pill to swallow...
Rising at four o'clock every morning isn't Corinna Chapman's favorite part of running her Australian bakery, Earthly Delights, and the glowing light of dawn feels even harsher when a man collapses in her shop. When the man, a military veteran, comes around and reveals that his beloved ex-service dog is missing, Corinna and her longtime companion, Daniel, feel compelled to help. It soon becomes clear, though, that they have gotten involved in something much bigger and more complicated than they had bargained for... especially when threatening notes begin to appear in Corinna's apartment. And with recreational drugs rising in popularity, the sleuths suspect that a dangerous smuggling ring might be behind everything.
Along with searching for the soldier's dog, dodging suspicious neighbors, and putting a stop to a string of local burglaries, Corinna has to keep her bakery running! It'll take everything she's got to crack the case and make sure delicious breads, muffins, and treats are still fresh and ready for her eager customers. Can she take the heat?
Part culinary cozy mystery, part small town mystery, and full of twists and turns, this latest addition to the Corinna Chapman Mysteries has it all!

Corinna Chapman, baker extraordinaire, talented sleuth, stalwart friend and lover, is back! When a distraught Scottish veteran from Afghanistan is knocked unconscious, waking up to find his beloved ex-service dog missing, Corinna and her lover, Daniel, find themselves inextricably drawn into the machinations of a notorious underworld gang of drug runners. Corinna and Daniel need to pull together all the strings to find the connections between their wandering Scottish veteran, his kidnapped dog, a student dramatic society that's moved into Corinna's building, burglaries, and the threatening notes that begin to mysteriously appear in her apartment. Between her forays into danger, there is still time in Corinna's life for tender encounters while the delicious aromas of newly baked breads, muffins and treats waft out of her bakery, Earthly Delights.
