The Case of the Midnight Muffins | Cozy Word Search Mystery
The Wind in the Willows meets the word search mystery—for everyone who loves a village whodunit but would rather nobody got hurt. 50 short chapters. 50 word searches. One gentle mystery.
For one week, every door on Thyme Lane finds a warm muffin on the step at dawn. Wrapped in cloth. Weighted with a small grey pebble. Labelled, in pencil, with two words: for you. Twenty-four doors. Seven nights. One hundred and sixty-eight muffins. And nobody sees a thing. Pax the baker swears it isn’t her, and her ovens are stone cold by nine o’clock. So twenty-two neighbors set out to catch whoever is doing it. They sit up all night. They keep charts. They time each other with a stopwatch. They get it magnificently, comically wrong, and walk past the answer every single morning without once seeing it. When they finally work it out, it is the kindest thing that has ever happened to them.
