Photographer Ivy Culpepper is soon to make a home with her husband-to-be in the California beach town of Santa Sofia—but the Yeast of Eden bakery remains her second home. It’s not just a place to work, but a community—and now one member of the community has been murdered.

There’s no reason for Ivy to get involved. She’s busy enough holding down the fort while the shop’s owner, Olaya, cares for her recently orphaned niece—not to mention the stress when a new employee is fired and storms out in a rage. Then a band of rabble-rousers starts picketing the bakery, claiming that Olaya’s sourdough roll is what killed Josh, and Ivy hears some salacious gossip about her beloved boss.
