When Daphne Martin’s first client of her new cake decorating business is found dead by her, it seems as if her business is doomed from the start. When fingers start pointing at her cakes as the cause of death, even though there were plenty of people in town who wanted Yodel dead, Daphne decided she needs to find out who really did it, before there’s nothing left to save of her new company.
I loved this book. Daphne had a tragic past, but that didn’t stop her from enjoying life. She’s returned to her hometown, so there is some reconnecting with people from her past, but most characters she doesn’t know from before. I really liked the mystery, mostly because Daphne didn’t try to stick her nose in it, yet still found herself smack dab in the middle of it. She seemed very real, as did her reactions. And don’t get me started on how hungry I became reading about all those cakes! All in all, a great begin to a new series.
So why the 4 stars instead of 5? Sometimes the cake decorating information was a little technical. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the details, but I would have liked a little section in the back that maybe explained some terms. She used a lot of tools I have never heard of before, so I couldn’t really picture them.
