Murder is a Piece of Cake: A Delicious Culinary Cozy with an Exciting Twist (A Baker Street Mystery)
"Snappy dialogue, a well-drawn supporting cast and an irresistible canine companion all add delicious flavor. Gulp this book down or savor it, but consuming it will guarantee a sustained sugar high." --New York Times Book Review on Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder
With small town New Bison's Spring Festival just around the corner, the pressure is on Maddy to continue her late great-aunt Octavia's legacy. That means scoring the top prize and transforming Baby Cakes into Southwest Michigan's must-visit bakery, even though her inexperience in the kitchen brings nightmares of humiliating tagged photos and scathing reviews.
There's another reason for lost beauty sleep. A second bakery is opening in town under the ownership of CJ Davenport, a shrewd investor with a reputation for sabotaging anyone who gets in his way. And savvy, flashy Maddy tops his list. It's a sticky spot to be in--more so when Davenport turns up dead with a Baby Cakes's knife stuck in his back.
Maddy's whole life just went from #thriving to barely surviving. Now, supported by the crafty Baker Street Irregulars and her new boyfriend, she must find the courage to face off against a killer who could very well get her name trending for the first and last time . . .

Book two sees Maddy living a more adjusted and routine life in New Bison. Her friendships are going strong and so is her relationship with Michael, the small town's Vet.
This book offers up a lot of laughs and smiles despite the fact that another murder has taken place with Maddy only being in town 3 months. I am not a criminologist or anything but that kinda math doesn't look favorable for anyone.
Secrets and people of the past seemed to be the driving theme in this book. And there were a number of interesting and exciting things that readers learn in Murder is a Piece of Cake that will count as spoilers. Therefore, I would just like to share that some of the loose ends from book one will reappear in book two. And I suspect that we will continue to see more bread crumbs delivered in the next book as well.
Happy reading.
