Heather Tullis (also writing as Heather Justesen) created the A Sweet Bites Mystery series as a cozy mystery lineup where baked goods meet criminal investigations. The first three books came out in quick succession between 2012 and 2013, starting with Brownies & Betrayal and followed by Pistols & Pies and Muffins & Murder. Each title pairs a treat with trouble, which gives the whole series a playful tone.
After a gap of a few years, the fourth book, Eggnog & Extortion, arrived in 2016. With only four entries, this is a quick series to read through from start to finish. The naming pattern alone tells you what to expect: lighthearted mysteries with a bakery setting, where the food is as important as the clues.
