A Mouthful of Murder

By Carol Durand and Summer Prescott

RECIPE INCLUDED
A new business, a new friend, and a deadly secret hiding in plain sight.
Cupcake shop owner Melissa "Missy" Gladstone finally has reason to celebrate. Her new bakery in Dellville, Louisiana is thriving, and rebuilding efforts are underway at her beloved shop back home in LaChance. For the first time in months, life seems to be settling into a sweet routine.

Then a mysterious newcomer arrives in town.

When a woman from California purchases the ice cream shop across the street, Missy is thrilled at the prospect of making a new friend. The charming newcomer seems eager to fit into small-town life, and the two quickly strike up a friendship.

But something isn't quite right.

A few strange comments. Odd slips of the tongue. Unusual hours that don't make sense. The more time Missy spends with her new friend, the more she begins to suspect that the woman is hiding a dangerous secret. Before long, suspicion turns into fear when a shocking murder rocks the community.

As rumors spread and clues begin to surface, Missy finds herself caught between loyalty and the pursuit of justice. Determined to uncover the truth, the enterprising amateur sleuth launches an investigation of her own. But in a town filled with hidden agendas and long-buried secrets, every answer seems to raise more questions.

Can Missy solve the mystery before another life is lost? Or will getting too close to the truth put her directly in a killer's sites?

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, culinary cozy mysteries, bakery mysteries, cupcake shop mysteries, amateur sleuths, Southern cozy mysteries, small-town murder mysteries, clean whodunits, and charming female sleuth adventures filled with friendship, suspense, and delicious desserts.
