Buttercream Bump Off
Author: Jenn McKinlay
I have a really bad cold, so I decided to spend this weekend resting, sipping hot tea and reading. Not just to recover from my cold, but to escape from the world for just a little while.
I've had the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series on my bookshelves for quite awhile. I kept passing it up and choosing other series that had fewer books. I have this thing where I have to read a series in order from start to finish.....and I just thought 16 books was a lot to commit to. Something about feeling like death warmed over and the state of current events just drew me into a series about a cupcake bakery that has cheery bright colored covers.
There's not many things that are happier than cupcakes.
So, I finally started reading my way through this series! Finished the first two books quickly. It might not take me too long to get through the whole series at this rate!
In this second book, Mel Cooper's mom decides she is ready to start dating again. When her date is murdered, Mel and crew find themselves caught up in amateur sleuthing to clear her mom's name. And there's a little bit of love triangle drama. All in all, a very enjoyable read! The mystery moved along at a nice pace. There was some good character development for the main characters. And there were plenty of twists and interesting developments.
I am really enjoying this series! I'm not sure if I'm binge reading because the books are so much fun to read or if I'm just reading faster as I know I still have 14 books to go? I think it's a combination of those two reasons!
On to book 3! :)
