Murder Is a Piece of Cake

Can young entrepreneur and social media influencer Maddy Montgomery run a bakery, care for a gigantic English mastiff, and cultivate a picture-perfect relationship--all while exposing a murderer? With small town New Bison's Spring Baking 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 Southwestern Michigan's must-visit bakery, even though her inexperience in the kitchen brings nightmares of humiliating tagged photos and scathing one-star 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 . . . Praise for Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder "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
