Poison & Plums: A Love Bakery Mystery Novel (Love Bakery Mysteries Book 1)
Description
It's the grand opening of home cook Carrie Forrest's new bakery - and a man's been poisoned...
For years, Carrie Forrest has been a home baker, catering for parties and selling homemade wedding cakes. Now, she's finally managed to scrape together enough money to open up her very own bakery, From Scratch. With the help of her sexy contractor and boyfriend Jason, and her best friend and money manager Becca, Carrie's dreams are finally coming true.
For all of about two hours.
Not even halfway through her first business day, a middle-aged businessman comes in, orders a plum Danish - and then collapses, choking on his dessert turned deadly! And for some mysterious reason, many of Carrie's new customers aren't thrilled about the possibility of poison in their pastries. Carrie watches as her customers vanish before her eyes, and even the sexiest of intimate kisses from Jason can't raise her spirits.
Now, in order to save her business, Carrie has to figure out who would have wanted Gregg Nesbitt dead. The more she investigates, the more lies and deceptions she uncovers. An angry and bitter wife? A naive mistress? A raging neighbor? Police detective Grant Hayward warns her to be careful, but even his deep velvet eyes can't convince her to just let the matter go. To bring back her customers and prove her innocence, Carrie needs to find the truth.
It's a killer of a problem, and all Carrie's got on her side are her wits - and a handful of dangerously sweet recipes...
This standalone mystery novel promises delicious desserts and gorgeous, sexy men - both tasty enough to get your mouth watering!
