My Review

This is a good and fun quircky mystery, with much humor and some twists.

Daphne is going to marry Ben: after so many cakes prepared for her customers, can now realize her wedding cake. Just two weeks before the wedding is back to spoil the party her ex-husband Todd. He just finished serving seven years in prison for trying to kill Daphne. He claims to be changed and still love her. Fortunately she does not believe him. Unfortunately he is found dead shortly after and Daphne is the prime suspect. This time she must investigate to save herself. Will she find the culprit before the wedding? Who have killed him?

The story was well written and captivating, dialogue are well constructed and the characters were colorful and fun. Daphne is a great character That is smart and brave and I enjoy each time that I get to spend with her.

I did enjoy this book and I look forward to reading the others in the series.

If you love culinary cozy mystery it is a book not to be missed.
