Doll restoration artist Gretchen Birch answers an invitation to a party at an unfamiliar dollhouse shop—and winds up in the thick of a murder mystery of miniature proportions. Now she must rally the help of her fellow Phoenix Dollars Club members who share an obsession with all things small….

When Gretchen finds Charlie Maize, the owner of the dollhouse shop Mini Maize, on the floor dead and covered with toppled miniature roomboxes, she fears that her death wasn’t an accident. One of the roomboxes—displays that depict real-life scenes with furniture and miniature dolls—is the set for a murder…complete with a tiny axe with a bloody blade and red splatters on the walls. As long as Gretchen can stop from being distracted by a devilishly handsome (and technically still married) detective, she'll follow the tiny clues—and perhaps stop a killer who makes murder child’s play.

Chapter one of Murder Talks Turkey

Kirkus Review says:

Baker's animal-themed adventure of three madcap ladies' exploits in Michigan's Upper Peninsula will make you chuckle and keep you guessing.

It’s spring in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula—an exciting season of rising temperatures, budding romances, and the turkey-hunting opener. But for sheer adrenaline value, neither love nor turkeys can compete with the Credit Union being held up at gunpoint. It’s not the best planning to commit a robbery in a town where everyone is armed for combat, and the gunman is shot dead in a room full of witnesses—but the stolen money has disappeared right in front of their eyes.  Faster than you can say “Tom Turkey,” Gertie, Cora Mae, and Kitty are on the case.
