A Glaze of Murder: A Mountain Village Pottery Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798252829944)

A hidden urn. A missing baker. In this mountain village, secrets are fired in the kiln.

Clara Vance finds her peace at the potter's wheel, turning the rich, damp clay of her Blue Ridge mountain village into beautiful art. But her quiet, predictable life is shattered when a routine kiln repair reveals a horrifying secret: an unfinished ceramic urn hidden in the brickwork, filled with human ashes.

The ashes belong to Elias Thorne, Oakhaven's beloved local baker who mysteriously vanished three weeks ago.

While the town council is desperate to sweep the disappearance under the rug, Clara knows the earth doesn't lie. Armed with her deep knowledge of toxic glaze recipes and the hidden cracks in her neighbors' lives, Clara becomes a reluctant sleuth. From trampled, poisonous flowers behind the bakery to a heavy iron key buried in a flour bin, the clues point to a deeply rooted blackmail ring that Elias was using to squeeze the town dry.

Everyone in Oakhaven had a reason to want the baker gone-including Clara's own troubled apprentice and the impeccably polished town mayor.

As Clara literally pieces together the shards of Elias's final days, the killer realizes she is getting too close to the truth. In a village where everyone knows your name, a murderer is hiding in plain sight-and if Clara isn't careful, she might be the next one permanently fired in the kiln.

If you love atmospheric small towns, clever craft-based clues, and twisty whodunnits without the gore, you'll be captivated by A Glaze of Murder.
