Mix a little butter, some eggs, flour and a heaping helping
of murder and what do you get? A yummy cozy mystery set in
a cupcake bakery! Sounds like a recipe for fun to me!
Mel and Angie, the gals at Scottsdale's Fairy Tale Cupcakes
bakery, are gearing up for what promises to be a stellar
Valentine's Day. Mel's mom is even excited about the
romantic holiday as she has the first date she's been on in
decades coming up! Unfortunately, someone has murdered
Baxter Malloy on their first date, putting a damper on any
romantic notions!
Now Mom's a suspect, and Mel and Angie need to find out
just what the con-man did to cause his untimely death and
discover who served him his just desserts. The girls
recruit their business partner Tate, and Angie's brother
Joe to help them track down the clues before the killer
decides to ice another victim.
Having thoroughly enjoyed Sprinkle with Murder, I was
delighted to be able to read Jenn McKinlay's second book in
her Cupcake Bakery Mystery series, BUTTERCREAM BUMP OFF.
And once again, I found a charmingly entertaining story
paired with a luscious assortment of cupcake recipes that,
when combined, made for a deliciously thrilling mystery!
McKinlay updates her readers on the fast-paced lives of her
heroines (and best friends) Mel and Angie, along with all
the men (boyfriends and brothers) who populate their lives.
I found the inclusion of Mel's family in this story a sweet
touch, and really loved the inclusion of the unlikely love
interest for Angie that really sets off a firestorm in the
romance department!
I look forward to McKinlay's next book, Death By The
Dozen.
