A movie crew has come to Savannah and their "fixer" begs
the Honeybee Bakery to take over the catering when he has
to fire the original catering company.
Katie and her aunt and uncle all pitch it to make it
possible for them to meet the demands of a busy movie set.
When the "fixer" is found murdered, Katie and her coven
will use their extra skill set to find the killer.
With her boyfriend, Declan working security on the set,
Katie enjoys some unprecedented access to the crew. After
Simon's death, the bakery is fired and the previous
caterer
is rehired. A psychic who works for the lead actress
predicts that Katie will find the murderer.
Katie plans to stay out of it until someone uses her
bakery
products to poison most of the crew. Then all bets are
off.
Katie and Declan will be pulled into the investigation.
Their discoveries of who Simon really was will bring the
entire coven into the investigation, each member bringing
their particular talents to determining the killer.
Each of the books in the Magical Bakery mysteries
series
finds Katie learning more about her talents and abilities.
As she and Declan spend more time together, they learn
that
non-believer Declan also has abilities that he is
unwilling
to recognize.
Ms. Cates does a great job of drawing the reader into her
stories. Each time Katie finds herself in danger, we
watch
with trepidation as she manages to extricate herself from
those situations with skill. With each book, I find
myself
more involved in the lives of the characters.
When Hollywood invades Savannah’s historic district to
film
a Revolutionary War movie, magical baker Katie Lightfoot,
and her witches’ coven, the Spellbook Club, take a break
from casting spells for casting calls. One of the witches
snags a part as an extra, while Katie’s firefighter
boyfriend, Declan, acts as on-set security. Katie and her
aunt Lucy decide to stay out of the action, but after the
movie’s “fixer” fires the caterer, the Honeybee Bakery
comes
to the rescue, working their magic to keep the hungry
crew
happy.
But when someone fixes the fixer—permanently—and a spooky
psychic predicts Katie will find the killer, the charming
baker and her fellow conjurers step in to sift through
the
suspects before someone else winds up on the cutting
room
floor .
