Buttercream Murder

By Carol Durand and Summer Prescott

Sometimes it's the little things that are the best things.
Life has never been sweeter for cupcake baker and amateur sleuth Melissa Gladstone. Her beloved Louisiana cupcake shops are thriving, her friendship with Echo is stronger than ever, and her relationship with handsome Detective Chas Beckett finally seems to be on the right track.
Then a powerful corporation comes calling.
What starts as an exciting business opportunity quickly turns sinister when a corporate giant becomes obsessed with obtaining a recipe that has helped make Missy and Echo wildly successful. When intimidation tactics escalate into threats, accidents, and frightening acts of sabotage, the two women realize someone is willing to do far more than play dirty to get what they want.
As danger closes in from every direction, Missy and Echo refuse to back down. But standing their ground may come at a deadly price.
Meanwhile, mounting stress and difficult choices put Missy's relationship with Chas to the test. With their future hanging in the balance, Missy must decide whether love is worth fighting for while uncovering the truth behind a ruthless scheme that could destroy everything she has built.
Can Missy expose the culprit before greed turns into murder? Or will a deadly recipe become the last thing she ever bakes?
Filled with Southern charm, friendship, suspense, and plenty of delicious treats, this fast-paced cozy mystery serves up a perfect blend of danger and dessert.
Perfect for fans of culinary cozy mysteries, cupcake shop mysteries, amateur women sleuths, small-town Southern mysteries, clean whodunits, cozy crime fiction, foodie mysteries, and page-turning mystery series.
