Murder Takes The Cake (Daphne Martin Cake Mysteries) by Gayle Trent
$7.69
A routine cake delivery becomes a culinary nightmare when a small-town
baker discovers her first client’s dead body in this irresistible new
mystery series. It’ll take more than a little sugar to convince folks
Daphne Martin’s freshly baked spice cake was not to blame for the
mysterious death of town gossip Yodel Watson. Getting her new cake
decorating business, Daphne’s Delectable Cakes, off the ground is hard
enough now that Daphne’s moved back to her southern Virginia hometown,
but orders have been even slower since she found Yodel’s body. She soon
realizes, however, that just about everybody in town had a reason to
poison the cantankerous busybody, from the philandering pet shop owner,
to Yodel’s church potluck nemesis, to the Save-A-Buck’s cranky produce
manager-turned-bagger. Now, to help prove she’s no confectionary killer,
Daphne recruits her old flame, Ben Jacobs, editor of the local
newspaper, and quickly stirs up a long-hidden family scandal that just
might hold the secret ingredient she needs to solve the case. All she’s
got to do is roll up her sleeves and get her hands a little dirty before
the real culprit decides that taking sweet revenge on Daphne will be
icing on the cake.
