RECIPE INCLUDED
What happens in Vegas...
might get you arrested for murder.
Cupcake baker Melissa "Missy" Gladstone is ready for the opportunity of a lifetime. Leaving her small hometown of LaChance, Louisiana behind, she heads to Las Vegas to compete in a prestigious national cupcake bake-off with a grand prize of $50,000. For Missy, the competition is more than a chance to showcase her baking skills. The prize money could help her expand her beloved cupcake shop and turn her biggest business dreams into reality. Add in a little sightseeing and a much-needed vacation, and the trip seems like the perfect recipe for success. Until an old rival shows up. What begins as an uncomfortable reunion quickly turns into something far more complicated when Missy discovers there are hidden motives behind her invitation to the competition. Forced into a high-stakes showdown, she finds herself facing impossible choices that could cost her far more than a baking trophy. Then a murder turns everything upside down. Far from home and suddenly the prime suspect in a homicide investigation, Missy realizes she can't trust anyone around her. With the evidence stacking up against her, she reaches out to the one person who might be able to help-handsome Louisiana detective Chas Beckett. Together, they must untangle a web of secrets, rivalries, and deception before the real killer strikes again. But in a city built on risk, luck may not be enough to save Missy from becoming the next victim. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, culinary cozy mysteries, amateur sleuth mysteries, bakery mysteries, cupcake shop mysteries, clean whodunits, female sleuths, small-town cozy mysteries, and fast-paced murder mysteries with humor, heart, and plenty of delicious desserts.
