Yummy Mysteries and Delicious Recipes
Jennifer G. - 2 years 2 months agoDo not read this hungry. The recipe's will have you baking in no time. This series is everything a cozy mystery should be and beautifully so. It is light, clean, funny, with lovely characters and a good murder too. Stock up on your baking basic essentials, the book includes recipes and they are SO GOOD!

Light, Fluffy and Fun
Loretta S. - 4 years 10 months agoLight and Fluffy story, entertaining enough to work while I listen. I enjoy baking, so I'm biased, too. Some stories in the series are better than others. My 75 yr old mom would enjoy these stories. It's definitely not a serious crime story though.

Skip it and just eat a cookie instead
Elizabeth N. - 5 years 2 months agoIf Food Network wrote a murder mystery book, it would be like this. There are even cookie recipes mixed in with the chapters. The story is all fluff and not believable as a murder mystery at all - the baker is doing police work because her relative is working the case? Come on. This is the first and only book I've read by this author. It's almost like she just had a bunch of cookie recipes laying around and scribbled down some random story to go with them. Just skip it - but definitely go eat a cookie. #SpringPicks
