About this title

Synopsis

Eliza Hartwell's bakery is finally open, her sourdough is finally worth eating, and Millbrook is finally starting to feel like home.

Then the village fête arrives, and with it Camilla Vance: nationally feared food critic, celebrity judge, and a woman whose reviews have closed restaurants, destroyed livelihoods, and left a trail of ruined careers from London to Edinburgh. Within hours of arriving she has managed to offend virtually everyone in the village.

When Camilla collapses on the village green after eating one of Eliza's lavender scones, the finger of suspicion points squarely at the baker. Her recipe. Her ingredients. Her competition entry.

With her bakery sealed as a crime scene for the second time in a year, Eliza must clear her own name while uncovering which of her neighbours is hiding a motive sharp enough to kill, and a secret patient enough to wait for exactly the right moment.

Proving Time is the second book in the Death & Sourdough series. Best served with strong tea and a scone you made yourself.

About the Author

Millie Bramley lives in rural England, where she divides her time between writing cozy mysteries and maintaining a sourdough starter that has outlived three house moves, two relationships, and one kitchen fire. She is a firm believer that most problems can be solved with strong tea, good bread, and a willingness to ask uncomfortable questions. She has two of the three down.

A Crust of Suspicion is her first novel. She is already working on the second, and the bread is getting better.
