Recently divorced Daphne Martin, returned home to her small
town to start her new business, Daphne's Delectable Cakes.
When she delivers a cake to her very first customer, Yodel
Watson, Daphne finds her dead and steps right into a mess
of trouble.
There is a long list of reasons to murder the mean old
gossip, and Daphne might have discovered the correct one of
them when she unearths a family secret. Daphne must explore
her own family history, find the killer and clear her name
before the death of her cake business and maybe even
herself.
In MURDER TAKES THE CAKE, the first book in the Daphne
Martin Cake Mystery series, author Gayle Trent takes her
readers on a thrilling and tasty roller coaster ride of a
intriguing story that will satisfy the mystery and sugar
cravings at the same time. Main character Daphne Martin is
as skilled as a baker and cake decorator as she is at
solving crimes, and Trent goes into great (and correct, I
might add) detail on the decorating process, as well as the
deduction processes that this feisty heroine employs. A
collection of luscious sounding recipes that are included
make this charming cozy a sweet treat to enjoy.
Yodel Watson was dead. And some people blamed my spice
cake.
When the meanest gossip in Brea Ridge dies mysteriously,
suspicions turn to cake decorator Daphne Martin. But all
Daphne did was deliver a spice cake with cream cheese
frosting–and find Yodel’s body. Now Daphne’s got to help
solve the murder and clear her good name. Problem is, her
Virginia hometown is brimming with people who had good
reason to kill Yodel, and Daphne’s whole family is among
them.
