Who doesn't love a good cupcake? They are a little bundle
of yummy goodness that just brings joy to your mouth.
In Jenn McKinlay's debut novel, SPRINKLE WITH MURDER: A
Cupcake Bakery Mystery, cupcakes are the star of the show,
and their deliciousness can turn out to be sweet, but
deadly.
Childhood friends Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura are the
proud owners of the Fairy Tale Cupcake Bakery, thanks in
part to a little help from their friend Tate Harper. So
when their first big order comes from Tate's fiancée,
potential Bridezilla Christy Stevens, the girls are
thrilled but apprehensive -- they know about Christy's
pickiness and tantrums. And when Christy is found dead with
a chocolate cupcake from the bakery in her hand, suddenly
all the attention is off their baking and on to Mel and
Angie. And while the Scottsdale police are doing a fine job
of investigating the murder, Mel and Angie decide to check
on a few leads of their own, only to find the killer was
the last person they would have suspected.
SPRINKLE WITH MURDER is a luscious treat of a cozy mystery
that is filling with an exciting storyline, with a decadent
cast of interesting characters, and is topped off with a
healthy helping of some of the most delicious sounding
cupcake recipes I've run across in a long while. I can
wait to see what new treats Jenn McKinlay cooks up next!
Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura are finally living out
their dream as the proud owners of the Fairy Tale Cupcakes
bakery. But their first big client is a nightmare. She's a
bridezilla who wants 500 custom cupcakes for her wedding.
When Mel stumbles upon the bride-to-be
dead-by-cupcake, she becomes the prime suspect. To save
themselves and their business, the ladies need to find the
real murderer, before the cupcake killer ices someone else.
