Tabitha Darling runs her dream cafe in the heart of Hobart, when she's not glamming up with her friends, perfecting the ultimate dessert, and avoiding all the local police officers who want her to feed them.

She never meant to investigate a murder. Not even when a dead muso was found in her building. Not even when the cute Scottish blogger asked for her help. Not even when a string of weird trap-themed crimes spread across the city...

Tabitha's world is coffee, cake and gossip. Murder was never on the menu. But as the coincidences build up around her, it's starting to feel really personal.

Will she figure out the deadly truth a trifle late?
