When Ruby Watkiss lands a job at the True Loaf Bakery, she feels as if the sun has finally come out. Having been through a traumatic time that wrecked her confidence levels, it’s a joy to be working for Ellie, and now all Ruby wants is to lead a quiet life and support her mum in getting the help she needs.
But life, it seems, has other plans for Ruby.
Working alongside the bafflingly rude Hudson Holmes would be bad
enough – but then odd things start happening. It seems that someone is out to
sabotage the café and bakery, and to her horror, Ruby finds the finger pointing
at her.
Desperate to prove her innocence, she teams up with the most
unlikely person in order to get to the bottom of what’s going on. Tailing
suspects and hiding in bushes isn’t something she ever imagined she’d be doing,
although her partner in mystery-solving seems the perfect man for the job. Can
they clear Ruby’s name by discovering the real culprit?
With all the drama afoot, at least there’s no time for romance.
Because that’s the very last thing on Ruby’s mind these days. Or is it…?

One of my favourite series! After 16, Rosie has built quite the
community whilst still managing to keep the stories fresh and different. If you
haven’t read any of the series, don’t be put off. You can totally pick each up
and read as a standalone, they include enough information to give you a bit of
background but not too much to put off those that have read them.
I am always jealous of those stumbling on this series for the first
time and them being able to work their way through them all!
Introduced to some new characters, you soon learn a lot about them
as well as how they will fit with the rest of the community. I loved Ruby, and
her relationship with Hudson. Their mystery solving is second to none, I loved
it, fun and interesting! I was trying to figure it all out alongside them but Rosie
did very well at keeping the mystery going for us readers. I changed my mind so
many times, I really couldn’t figure out who was behind the sabotage.
Whilst these books are cheerful, fun, reads they do incorporate
serious, sensitive topics and issues. Rosie does very well at tugging on our
heartstrings, playing with our emotions and hitting us straight in the feels.
Another fabulous visit, I am already looking forward to the next!
Author Bio:
Back then, they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by 'the baddies'.
Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile, with really not much perilous danger involved at all - unless you count the heroine losing her heart in love.
Her series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe. The latest, ‘Sweet Pastries & Sourdough', is out now.
Look out for more Little Duck Pond Café tales in 2021!
