My Review
I have truly found a new favorite genre to read, cozy mystery. This is a new to me author and her writing is fabulous so much
so I devoured it.
The author loves to bake and the book is chock full of delicious cupcake and other baked good descriptions because the main character is a baker. This is one holiday book that actually has a lot of Halloween holiday descriptions like so many holiday books don't.
Oh my goodness, eighty something year old Tillie, the family matriarch is a real hoot . She's sassy and won't take a back seat to anyone and she's right in the thick of things solving this mystery.
So put your cupcakes down because your going to be so engrossed
in this one you're going to forget to eat.
When you're done reading this you're going to be ready for your Halloween party with all the fabulous recipes included in the back of the book, additions include everything from the main course to appetizers and desserts, did I mention desserts?
Plenty of dessert recipes included and even cocktail. Like I said
you'll be ready for that Halloween party! Loved this book and highly recommend it!
Pub Date 22 Sep 2020 I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
GoodReads Summary
Cupcake caterer Emory Martinez is hosting a Halloween bash alongside her octogenarian employer, Tillie. With guests dressed in elaborate costumes, the band is rocking, the cocktails are flowing, and tempers are flaring when the hired Bavarian Barmaid tries to hook a rich, hapless husband. Except one of her targets happens to be Emory’s brother-in-law, which bodes ill for his pregnant wife. When Emory tracks down the distraught barmaid, instead of finding the young woman in tears, she finds her dead. Can she explain to the new detective on the scene why the Bavarian Barmaid was murdered in Emory’s bathtub with Emory’s Poison Apple Cake Pops stuffed into her mouth? With an angry pregnant sister to contend with, she promises to clear her brother-in-law’s name. As Emory starts asking questions and tracking down the identity of the costumed guests, she finds reasons to suspect her brother-in-law has been hiding a guilty secret. Her search leads her to a web of blackmail and betrayal amongst the posh setting of the local country club crowd. Can Emory sift through the lies she’s being told and find the killer? She’ll need to step up her investigation before another victim is sent to the great pumpkin patch in the sky. Includes spooky Halloween recipes!
