Death by the Dozen
Author: Jenn McKinlay
I am really loving this series! I have all of the books on my shelf. They've been there for some time. I kept passing this series up for shorter ones from my TBR pile. I have a thing about having to read a series from start to finish. And 16 books is a big commitment.
Finally, I picked up book one and read it. Quickly. Total binge read. Then book 2....and now book 3. I now see that I will zip through all the way to book 16, finish the last page, and then find myself wishing there were more books!
I love the background theme of a cupcake bakery with 1950's decor. I like the main characters and the setting. The mystery always keeps me engaged, and I find myself finishing one book and then picking up the next one immediately. There are also recipes in the back of the books! I eat grain free for medical reasons, so there are no "real' cupcakes in my future, but I can certainly bake some for my son! :)
In this 3rd book, Mel and Angie are participating in a baking contest. It's a pretty big deal with celebrity chefs judging and a lot of public attention. Unfortunately, a local rival and a sly killer make the event stressful. First one dead body....then another. Can Mel figure out who the culprit is before they target anyone else?
There is some nice character development in this book, as well as an addition that made me smile! Not giving it away -- read the book!!
On to book 4 -- I must keep reading!! :)
First time I've binge read a cozy series in a long time! Having fun!!
