Sweets and a Stabbing

The mix of baking and crime makes for such a cozy vibe, but I wonder what inspired this unique pairing and how it influences the story’s tone.

The author clearly loves showcasing small-town life, but I found myself wishing the mystery moved a bit faster during the slower parts. Was that intentional?

The setting feels so inviting and authentic — I’m curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination to evoke a certain cozy atmosphere.
