The heroine of my new Pine Hills Police book, SAVING SCOTT, is trying very hard to open her bakery, "Confections by Ashley." As part of the book, I'm including recipes for some of her creations. Here's a sneak preview of the scene where today's recipe is mentioned. (The recipe follows)
"We're not here to speak ill of the dead," Maggie said. "We should be celebrating her life."
Jennifer reached for another cookie and held it aloft. "She did make excellent lemon sugar cookies."
"That she did," Maggie said.
"Would she have killed herself over a man?" Ashley asked.
Jennifer shook her head. "Not her style. She'd find another one. Or two."
The door chimes tinkled. Jennifer devoured another cookie. "I'd better get out front."
After Jennifer left, Maggie tutted. "That girl. She's excellent in the shop, but she does have an overdeveloped penchant for the dramatic."
Ashley refrained from saying anything about Maggie's own penchant for knowing what was going on. After all, that's why Ashley was here. "I agree about focusing on the good at a time like this, but don't you think we should share what we know about Felicity with the police? It might help them figure out why she died sooner."
