(A Cupcake Bakery Mystery)
ISBN: 978-0425233429
Sprinkle With Murder is the first in a new series of cozy mysteries by Jenn McKinlay. The main character Mel (Melanie) Cooper, along with her two best friends from childhood, Angie DeLaura and Tate Harper, are starting a new business the Fairy Tale Cupcakes Bakery. When Tate's fiancee-turned-bridezilla is found dead clutching one of Mel's cupcakes in her hand Mel has her work cut out for her. Mel must solve the murder before she or Tate are locked away for the crime.
There is a whole cast of characters to keep things interesting. From the insanely competitive rival bakery owner to Angie’s overprotective brothers and Mel’s matchmaking Mom. There is even the hint of the beginning of a romance. This is a mystery that plays fair. You are given the clues so that you can figure this one out for yourself. The biggest mystery may be which of the yummy cupcake recipes included in the book will you bake?
Jenn McKinlay also writes the Brenna Miller Decoupage Mystery series as Lucy Lawrence. Jenn lives in Arizona with her husband and two sons. She has worked in libraries for over twenty years. Learn more about Jenn in this interview with the author.
