Trifling With Trouble book by K.D. McCrite

A golden wedding anniversary for one of Moss Hollow, Georgia’s favorite couples is tarnished by a surprise guest bearing shocking revelations.

Jillian Green and her friends in the Southern Sweetie Pies Baking Club are busy with preparations for a party honoring the golden wedding anniversary of longtime club member Maudie Honeycutt and her husband, Hugh. Unfortunately, the celebratory mood fades fast when a surprise guest arranged by Maudie doesn't get the warm reception she anticipates. Instead, the guest's arrival brings to light shocking revelations about Hugh's younger years, and his dubious past takes on even more gravity when, only days after the anniversary party, Hugh disappears without a trace.

When her husband vanishes, Maudie jumps to the worst that Hugh has abandoned her to relive the dreams of his youth. All of a sudden, friendships are challenged, love is questioned, and loyalties are tested. If Jillian and her friends don't get together to untangle the intricate web of secrecy soon, the party's going to be over for one of Moss Hollow's most beloved citizens.

This clever whodunit from Annie’s Chocolate Shoppe Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, female friendships, and light romance.
