Cat Latimer pursues a scone-cold killer who iced a top chef in a local bakery . . .

Cat has a full plate at her Aspen Hills Warm Springs Resort, as a group of aspiring cozy mystery authors arrives for a writers retreat. So when baker Dee Dee Meyer stirs up trouble by filing a false complaint with the health inspector against the B&B—all because she insists Cat's best friend Shauna stole her recipes—Cat marches into the shop to confront her.

But Dee Dee's about to have her own batch of trouble. Greyson Finn—a celebrity chef and, until today, one of Denver's most eligible bachelors—has been found dead in her bakery. Cat's uncle Pete, who happens to be the chief of police, warns her not to engage in any half-baked sleuthing. But as her curiosity rises, Cat's determined to discover who served the chef his just desserts—before the killer takes a powder . . .

My Review

A really pleasant reading, how can you not love a book set in a retreat for writers run by a writer ...

Cat runs a writers' retreat in Aspen Hills, Colorado: for a week they have so many activities at their disposal but especially a lot of time to write. Shauna helps her with the kitchen and her boyfriend Seth is the handyman. When the bakery owner accuses Shauna of stealing her recipes and a corpse is found right in the bakery, Cat can't help but investigate.

It was nice to visit this lovely little university town. The characters are lovable and warm. Cat is a curious woman, very open to others and enterprising. I also loved Shauna very generously. Her recipes are really tasty, definitely worth trying.

Even if it is the fifth book in this series you can read it as standalone, the author is good at providing the information necessary to understand the story and the various characters.

A fun, well-written reading, with a good pace, brilliant dialogues, a well-developed storyline with lots of tracks and clues and a few twists and turns.

Highly recommended for those who love cozy mysteries
