Publisher's summary

Murder's in the mix for mystery bookstore owner and amateur sleuth Tricia Miles, in the latest entry of Lorna Barrett's New York Times best-selling Booktown series.

With her assistant, Pixie, picking up more responsibility around the shop, Tricia Miles suddenly has a lot more time on her hands. Tricia decides to join the local animal-rescue board and enter the Great Stoneham Bake-Off, but neither pans out as smoothly as she'd hoped.

Balancing a bake-off that's heating up with a frosty reception from the board, Tricia stops by Joyce Whitman's romance bookstore looking for a book to get her fired up. She stumbles on something hot, but it's an argument between Joyce and her neighbor Vera Olson instead of a steamy read. When Vera turns up dead in Joyce's garden hours later, Tricia has to wonder - could Joyce be the killer? Or is the culprit still lurking in town?

One thing is for sure, someone in Stoneham is stirring up something more sinister than sweet. Tricia is determined to win the cutthroat cooking contest, but first she will have to make sure no one else is in danger of getting burned....

Love This Series

Killer Edition is another entertaining book for this series. Tricia Miles, Angelica and the rest of the supporting characters are engaging and likeable. I like the relationship between Angelica and Tricia and look forward to seeing how things develop with Tricia and Marshall. As always, there is a murder in town and Tricia is involved. This is a light hearted cozy mystery with a well written plot and a little suspense. I look forward to the next book in this series.

missing Karen White

Love the series, have them all, but this book disappoints with the new narrator. I hate when two strong women suddenly become whiny and high pitched with a narrator change. Lots of drinking in this book too, What's up with that? How can these two hard working women drink pitchers of martinis EVERY night? And why is it "the best part" of their day? That story line bothers me. Sadly, I'll wait for the reviews and who's narrating on the next book before I purchase it. I guess all good things must come to an end, but such is life.

Terrible narrator where is Karen White?

This can not be the same Cassandra Campbell who narrates the first books in this series. It can’t be. It’s simply awful. I’ve listened to all the other books in this series, but this one I am having trouble staying with because if the absolutely flat dismal performance. So disappointing, the narrator destroys the story.

Great Story

I loved the story but I hated the narrator. She kept mispronouncing the the name of Angelica's fictional company. Also Pixies was was all wrong. Why didn't Miss Marple make more of an appearance? Bring back the original narrator.

Great story

I really enjoyed the story. In fact, it might the best one yet. However, I didn't like the narrator's portrayal of Pixie. It failed to capture her character.

Why change the narrator

The change in narrator really effected my enjoyment of the book. The new narrator is ok but when you get used to voices from characters being one way for 12 books to Change in the 13th book makes it somehow grating when you expect different voices from characters.

why oh why would you change narrator?

The Narrator should never be changed in a series, and definitely not this far into a series! 😥 Don't want to sing the author for the fault of the audio production, but it's just not right.

Disappointed in new voices after listening to almost a dozen books in the series

Like everyone else said : A shame they changed the narrator. Overall enjoyed the story but no offense to the author but the series is losing steam.

Why oh why did you change narrators?

Unfortunately, the New narrator, is not up to the same standard as the one for the previous 12 books in the series. Had this narrator completed any of the books 1 through 12 I'm afraid I would not be listening to book 13. If there are changes in a narrators, at least they should use the same pronunciations for names, accents of the key characters and their mannerisms throughout the entire series. This is a disappointment to what has been a very enjoyable series, including the storyline of Book 13.
