The victim this time is Alice, the charming and eccentric owner of the local antique shop. As Hannah delves into the mystery, she uncovers a web of secrets, rivalries, and a delectable array of suspects.
The Intriguing Murder
On a crisp autumn morning, Alice is brutally murdered in her antique-filled shop. The only witness is her beloved cat, Mittens, who helplessly observes the gruesome scene.

The Enigmatic Suspects
As Hannah digs deeper into the investigation, she encounters an intriguing cast of suspects, each with their own motives and secrets.
- Amelia Bennett: Alice's estranged niece, who harbors resentment towards her aunt for disinheriting her.
- Charles Winthrop: A wealthy businessman and collector who had been pursuing Alice romantically.
- Hazel Blackwood: A rival antique dealer with a long-standing grudge against Alice.
li>Marty Johnson: A local handyman who was infatuated with Alice but rejected by her.
The Coconut Layer Cake Clue
Amidst the investigation, Hannah stumbles upon a significant clue: a half-eaten slice of coconut layer cake found at the crime scene. As Hannah is renowned for her exquisite baking, she immediately suspects that the cake might hold the key to solving the mystery.
The Sweet Trail
Hannah embarks on a culinary adventure, tracing the origin of the coconut layer cake. She visits local bakeries and interviews countless residents, determined to uncover the connection between the cake and the murder.
Her investigation leads her to a small cottage on the outskirts of town, where she meets an elderly baker named Mrs. Hawthorne. Mrs. Hawthorne reveals that she baked the cake for Alice a few days before the murder, and that Alice had asked for a specific recipe passed down through her family.
Cracking the Family Secret
Hannah delves into the Hawthorne family history and uncovers a shocking秘密. Alice's great-grandmother, also named Alice, had been unjustly accused of murder and sentenced to death. Before her execution, she had inscribed her last words on a piece of parchment, concealed within a secret compartment in an antique locket.
The Hidden Truth Revealed
As Hannah pieces together the clues, she realizes that the locket held the key to the present-day murder. The parchment revealed that Alice's great-grandmother had been wrongly accused by her own family, due to a bitter inheritance dispute.
Confronting each suspect, Hannah unveils their connections to the Hawthorne family and exposes their motives. Amelia Bennett, driven by greed, had planned to inherit Alice's estate and had murdered her to silence the truth about their family history.
Justice Served
With the evidence gathered, Detective Kingston arrests Amelia Bennett for the murder of Alice. The truth is finally revealed, and justice is served. Alice's name is cleared after centuries, and the town of Lake Eden can rest easy knowing that the darkness of the past has been put to rest.
The Sweetest Ending
In the aftermath of the investigation, Hannah decides to honor Alice's memory by creating a special coconut layer cake, now known as "Alice's Legacy." The cake becomes a symbol of hope and redemption, a sweet reminder of the resilience and triumph over adversity.
And so, in the quaint town of Lake Eden, the Coconut Layer Cake Murder remains a tale whispered among locals, a testament to the indomitable spirit of Hannah Swensen and the enduring power of truth and justice.
