Toni Holmes hopes everyone will soon forget the murder
outside her bakery and instead focus on the yummy gluten-
free treats she has for them at Baker's Treat.
Unfortunately, her wacky family has other plans as Grandma
Ruth is now the center of yet another murder investigation.
Someone has killed Lois Striker and left scooter prints
behind- scooter prints that look remarkably like those of
Grandma! Toni will have her hands full if she is going to
keep Grandma and her Aunt Phyllis out of jail for any length
of time!
I absolutely love the town of Oiltop! Nancy J. Parra brings
her town to vivid life, crafting characters I want to sit
and chat with while sampling some of the delicious wares at
Toni's bakery. Who can't help but love a town where the
residents still honor a hometown hero on Thanksgiving,
naming it Homer Everett Day?
Oiltop is full of quirky characters and intrigue and MURDER
GONE A-RYE showcases this to the fullest. Aunt Phyllis fits
in perfectly with Toni's large and crazy family. Even
better, we get to see quite a bit of Grandma in Nancy J.
Parra's second installment in A Baker's Treat Mystery
series.
MURDER GONE A-RYE is sheer fun! I love how Nancy J. Parra
addresses gluten allergies and sensitivities, weaving them
into the plot in a way that is both entertaining and
educational. Toni is a phenomenal reluctant heroine, as she
loves her family even as she wonders what trouble they will
find next. MURDER GONE A-RYE is highly recommended for all
cozy mystery fans as Nancy J. Parra has hooked me on A
Baker's Treat Mystery series!
Toni Holmes is the best gluten-free baker in Oiltop,
Kansas—okay, she’s the only one—but when her grandmother
becomes a murder suspect, she’s more concerned with keeping
Grandma free…
When Toni’s beloved—and eccentric—grandma Ruth is arrested
for the murder of her archenemy, Lois Striker, it’s time for
a senior moment of truth. Telltale tracks from a scooter
like the one Grandma Ruth rides lead the police to suspect
the outspoken oldster, but Toni knows her grandmother
wouldn’t burn a cookie, let alone extinguish a life.
In fact, the case has Grandma more revved up than her
infamous scooter. A former investigative journalist, she
decides to solve the murder herself—with help from Toni—by
digging up long-buried town secrets. But as Grandma scoots
in where others fear to tread, Toni needs to make sure she
not only stays out of jail but out of harm’s way…
