đź“š The Cases So Far
Book 1 - Where it all began.
Sprinkles of Mystery
A missing musician. A broken guitar string. A trail of maple-scented deceit. When Juno vanishes after a set at The Toaster Club, Emily Crustshaw dives headfirst into a conspiracy that goes deeper than the filling in a double-stuffed tart.
Includes acapella squirrels, maple smuggling, and the power of music to shake an empire.
Book 2 - The sea never forgets.
Coastal Whispers
Emily and Juno escape to Bayside Haven for a little peace and possible romance—but the lighthouse isn’t just guiding ships anymore. Secrets wash ashore, old flames flicker back to life, and someone’s sending coded messages through floral arrangements.
Features: moody coastlines, suspicious floral deliveries, and a very talkative raven.
Book 3 - Vacation? Not exactly.
Bean There, Done That
A coffee-fueled getaway turns suspiciously complex as Emily starts seeing mysteries everywhere—from oddly curated jingle contests to a concert with more questions than encores. Is it paranoia, or just a decaf shortage?
No crimes, just vibes. And some very questionable souvenir bags.
Book 4 - Family. Frosting. Fallout.
Harvestide: The Journey Home
An invitation to the Crustshaw family estate drags Emily back into the tangled history of the Great Unfrosted Uprising. In the shadows of ancestral portraits and suspiciously well-preserved ledgers, old truths rise—and someone isn’t happy about them.
Includes: suspicious tapestries, multigenerational drama, and possibly a ghost. Maybe.
Book 5 - Code. Control. Corruption.
Version Control
Emily and Juno return to Popolis—only to find it rewritten. Civic announcements glitch mid-sentence. The once-proud Toaster Club plays pre-approved jingles. And unfrosted PopTarts are vanishing from the archives.
As they dig deeper, an insidious new regime reveals itself: DOGE, the Department of Glaze Enforcement, rewriting history one byte at a time.
Includes: glitching memories, frosting compliance mandates, and the most passive-aggressive AI assistant ever coded.

Book 6 - Fragments remember, versions merge.
Crumbs of the Forgotten
When Emily discovers she's Version 14.2, she realizes her memories aren't missing—they're layered beneath patches of someone she was never meant to be. With only 72 hours before her fragmented selves collapse into chaos, she must choose which Emily to save.
But in hidden subnodes across the city, other versions are waking up—and they all remember loving someone different
Book 7 - Nature writes its own endings.
The Toaster Plains Affair
When a respected conservationist is found dead on a Hunter’s Club expedition, the police call it an accident. But Emily knows better. Simon’s last note was three words: Trust Emily Crustshaw. With Raya begging for answers, Emily and Juno are pulled into the dangerous world of the Toaster Plains, where privilege and predation blur into something far darker. Out past the city’s reach, the truth prowls with teeth.
In the shadow of the Toaster Plains, every hunt has a predator — and sometimes the prey is the truth itself.
Book 8 - Grounded by Deception
The Cadence Conspiracy
When flight attendant and triathlete Brittney Cadence is framed for a corporate CEO's murder, the prosecution turns her strength into evidence and her schedule into lies. Emily uncovers fabricated training logs, forged crew rosters, and the Syndicate's fingerprints on every falsified document. As Juno's music venue gets swallowed by shadowy "investors," the case becomes personal for Emily.
And the conductor pulling the strings is someone Emily thought she'd left for dead.
Book 9 - When Memory Crystallizes
Sugar Fade
Emily takes on her most personal case yet when Mei Glazewell, a nurse at an upscale elder care facility, reveals a horrifying truth: activist elders are being systematically poisoned with an experimental compound that preserves their appearance while crystallizing them from within.
Emily discovers that some cases leave marks that don't fade.
Book 10 - When Love Becomes Algorithm
The Paris Protocol
Emily and Juno's relationship is fraying at the edges—a London trip meant to reconnect has only widened the silence between them. An impulsive escape to Paris leads to Camille Brûlée, a patisserie owner being cyberstalked by her ex - her DEAD ex. As Emily uncovers the truth - an automated "revenge as a service" network - she and Juno must work the case together while finally confronting the unspoken tension that's been building since Sugar Fade.
Some connections break clean while others require the messy work of repair.
