She just wants to sell cupcakes and avoid drama. When a killer strikes close to home, will she whisk up the perfect trap or get burned trying?
Ava Decker is starved for commitment. Unsure what to do about the three men tearing her in different directions, the sarcastic baker is kicking off January with a massive hangover and the urge to eat her feelings. But when she drags herself to the museum to clean up after the town’s New Year’s Eve bash, she discovers not only stale treats but also the editor of the local newspaper … shot to death.
Leaning on forensic skills she’s earned by being an unfortunate corpse magnet, the big-hearted shop owner resumes her role as neighborhood amateur sleuth and starts exploring clues. Yet as she digs up info on feuding co-workers, missing money, and crooked politicians, she realizes the sharp-tongued wordsmith had a whole pantry’s worth of enemies.
Can she celebrate the sweet reward of catching a murderer before this becomes a recipe for disaster?
My Review:
Great writing and characters.
Bakery and chocolate shop owner, Ava Decker, always seems to be finding dead bodies in her town. This time, she found a body while helping with the cleanup at Clover Creek Museum, the day after their New Year’s Eve party. Ava, along with her cat Lucky, and a new friend, Iris, go on the hunt to find the killer before he/she strikes again. Ava is also dealing with the mysterious disappearance of her boyfriend, Jean-Carlo, a US Marshall, who she hasn’t heard from since he went on an undercover assignment. This fast-paced book is fun and unpredictable. I enjoyed it just as much as the previous books in the series.
