Chaos in a Cake Basket

By Sally Wolfgang

In the mountain town of Wildcreek, Idaho, secrets bloom faster than St. John's Wort... and some are far more deadly.

All former investigator Afton Laurie wants is peace, quiet, and a reliable cup of tea. But when an antique cake basket is sold to a quiet farmhand with a mysterious past, it sets off a chain of gossip, grudges, and dangerously tangled histories.

As the town prepares for its annual St. John's Wort Festival, tensions rise - and so does the body count. With Wildcreek's locals stirring up trouble faster than a spoon in a teacup, Afton is pulled into a mystery she didn't ask for... but might be the only one who can solve.

With quirky characters, herbal intrigue, and a hint of danger, Chaos in a Cake Basket is the first in a charming new series where small-town secrets refuse to stay buried.

A Fun Read!

I prefer to read non-fiction but, every once in a while I will read a mystery fiction book. My neighbor's Sister, Sally Wolfgang, wrote this book and I thought I would give it a read. I was told that Sally had worked on the book for about 9 years! (This, in itself is inspirational. Even with a full, busy life, she found time to write! So, you can also let your book come forward, too!) What a great book! The characters are all well developed, believable, some likeable, some not, as intended. The book is funny, serious, and I did not know who the killer was until the very end of the book! A page turner to the end. I was left with wanting More of Sally's books! I highly recommend this lovely book!
