Review: Fudge & Felonies (Frosted Misfortunes Mysteries #2) by Lisa Siefert

She just wants to share her delicious sweets. But a sticky surprise has this amateur detective dusting off her snooping skills.

Bakery owner Ava Decker is determined to put being dumped at the altar behind her. But her ambitions turn sour when her chocolaty cupcakes end up beside a beauty pageant contestant’s lifeless body. And when her good friend is accused of the crime, Ava throws herself into the mix to clear both their names.

With a dash of help from her cute kitten sidekick, the pastry-chef-turned-sleuth dives into the beauty queen scene to find out why a weight-loss-fanatic would be found dead next to sugary goodness. But with few clues and her hands messy with a full lineup of suspects, she struggles to follow the trail of crumbs to the real tiara-obsessed killer.

Can Ava crown the culprit before the plate of evidence is wiped clean?

Fudge & Felonies is the second book in the delightful Frosted Misfortunes cozy mystery series. If you like humorous characters, off-the-wall whodunits, and heartwarming fun, then you’ll love Lisa Siefert’s guilty pleasure.

My Review:

I didn’t want this book to end.

I totally enjoyed the first book in the Frosted Misfortunes Mysteries series and couldn’t wait to read this one. I enjoyed seeing Ava putting her sleuthing skills to work once again and seeing what crazy cat antics Lucky was up to this time. This book takes place during a beauty pageant where one of the contestants gets killed.  It was a fun story from start to finish.
