Publisher's summary

Perfect for those craving the cozies of Joanne Fluke and Ellery Adams, the acclaimed Agatha award-nominated author returns to her charming small-town culinary cozy series featuring a social media expert turned bakery owner and sleuth.

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 . . .

Hooray for Mandy Montgomery!

Maddy M brings the love for her friends that is not around in other stories. She’s a person who believes in the people she loves, wholeheartedly.
Maddy can read the patterns and clues others don’t see and will design them all together until the make sense or should I say mix them together and prepare them for baking! Go Maddy!
I can’t wait to meet the Admiral!

A lot of fun!

I think this one is better than the first book. The first had to explain and setup the story but the second moves fast. All the characters were so entertaining, not over the top. Sometimes in cozy mysteries, there’s always one or two supporting characters that are over the top, which become annoying, not here. It is a fast fun listen, not too complicated but quite enjoyable and A LOT OF FUN!
Jasmin Walker’s performance was wonderful and believable.

Good mystery with the perfect voice!

I savored this book, as I did the first. Genuine dialogue, likable characters, excellent all the way around. I hope there’ll be more in the series!
