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!
