Series background & context
Magnolia Bay looks like the sort of place people visit to unwind: an old island with historic streets, ocean air, and a pace that makes you breathe slower. For Autumn Ray, it’s home, and it’s also her livelihood, she runs a bed-and-breakfast there.
Then a murder turns the island into a rumor mill.
In The Tainted Taffy, Autumn is pulled into an investigation when a beloved local confectioner is killed and suspicion starts spreading. The series keeps Autumn at the center, juggling guests, keeping her business afloat, and following leads through a community where everyone is connected.
The mysteries use the island setting in smart ways. Tourists come and go, locals have long memories, and old buildings hide old stories. Clues can be as simple as a conversation overheard at breakfast, or as strange as a historical object turning up in the wrong place.
Across the books, Autumn grows into the role of amateur sleuth, not because she wants attention, but because she can’t stand watching someone else take the blame. A light romantic thread and a familiar cast of townspeople keep the tone warm.
Start with The Tainted Taffy and keep reading in order to watch Autumn turn her cozy B&B into the place where the truth finally comes out.
