Sweet Success for Susan K. Smith

Published March 19, 2026

Congratulations to Susan K. Smith on the release of THE MISSING INGREDIENTS, the first book in the Jane’s Buns Mysteries. This upbeat series celebrates aspirational heroes, Jane Meyer and Alfie Dawkins, ordinary people who do the right thing to make a positive difference.

ABOUT THE BOOK:  It’s Christmas season. Jane is busy baking buns and other holiday treats. Some things are missing: people and ingredients.
Jane Meyer and Alfie Dawkins are working for an impoverished Duke on one of the UK’s failing estates. The Duke’s son has gone missing, raising alarms within the British government. Meanwhile, vagrant Burt Duffy, Jane’s friend, has disappeared without a trace. Alfie hatches an out-of-this-world plan, combined with Jane’s baking skills, to hunt for Burt as well as track down the Duke’s son. Will the missing ingredients be found in time for Christmas? Purchase a copy through Amazon.
