A wedding cake to die for... literally.
The cake was perfect. That was the problem.
When wedding baker Vera Delacourt delivers her $50,000 Crystal Garden cake for tech billionaire Elias Vance, she expects champagne and applause. Instead, she finds the groom dead in her walk-in freezer - with a sugar rose in his pocket and her frosting in his mouth.
Now Detective Liam Hale thinks she's a killer, TikTok food critic Olivia Pryce wants her business shut down, and the bride isn't even crying.
To clear her name, Vera must trade her piping bag for a suspect list: a secret fiancée, a backstabbing assistant, a best man with millions to lose, and an ex's new wife who's hated Vera for years.
But as the bodies start stacking like cake tiers, Vera realizes she's not just solving a murder. She's the next course.
The Wedding Cake Murders is the first book in the Sugar & Sin Culinary Cozy Mystery series.
Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Krista Davis, and Jessica Beck, this delectable mystery serves up:
- A witty baker-turned-sleuth you'll root for
