She bakes wedding cakes. She solves murders. But this time, the killer is family.
Welcome back to Sugar & Sin, where baker Vera's fondant hides more than buttercream... it hides evidence.
Layered Lies is the second book in the Sugar & Sin Culinary Cozy Mystery series. Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Diane Mott Davidson, and Jessica Beck.
One month after a wedding day shooting exposed a $12M money-laundering ring, Vera just wants to get back to baking. But when a mysterious order for her signature White Almond Velvet cake arrives-the same cake from her husband's murder-Vera knows someone is back for seconds.
The note reads:
For old time's sake. -S
Is it Selene, the witness who vanished into WITSEC? Is it Olivia, texting from prison? Or is it a ghost from Vera's past, ready to kill again?
When a person in chef's whites is caught on camera watching her shop, Vera must sift through a wedding's worth of lies to uncover the truth. Because this time, the poison isn't in the cake... it's in her family tree.
Layered Lies serves up:
A baker-turned-sleuth with a knack for finding trouble
Poisoned pastries, fondant fraud, and financial crimes
Wedding secrets, blackmail, and a father who faked his death
Small-town charm with big-stakes suspense
A twist you won't see coming-and a cliffhanger for Book 3
If you love culinary cozy mysteries with smart heroines, clever clues, and recipes for disaster, bite into Layered Lies today.
