A Baking Competition, A Shocking Murder, and a Teenager With Everything to Lose. They're just high school kids, right? And kids don't kill... or do they? You'll be instantly hooked by this delicious Cozy Mystery Life in LaChance, Louisiana is rarely dull for cupcake shop owner and amateur sleuth Melissa "Missy" Gladstone, but even she is stunned when a local baking competition ends in tragedy. When a talented but disgruntled high school student becomes the prime suspect in a shocking murder after a bitter competition loss, the entire town seems convinced the case is already solved. But Missy isn't so sure. The more questions she asks, the more she suspects there's much more to the story than hurt feelings and teenage rivalry. As Missy digs deeper, a second suspect emerges-one who seems far too eager to win her trust. His charm and helpful attitude should put her at ease, but instead they set off every alarm bell she has. With conflicting clues, hidden motives, and mounting pressure from all sides, Missy finds herself racing to separate fact from fiction before an innocent person's life is ruined. But someone knows the truth. And that someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep Missy from uncovering it. With handsome Detective Chas Beckett by her side and danger closing in, Missy must follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if it points somewhere no one wants to believe. Can she uncover the real killer before another life is destroyed? Or will her search for justice make her the murderer's next target? Formerly titled Pink Velvet Murder, this newly revised installment in the beloved Frosted Love series delivers Southern charm, mouthwatering desserts, memorable characters, and a classic whodunit packed with twists and surprises. Perfect for fans of culinary cozy mysteries, cupcake shop mysteries, Southern cozy mysteries, amateur women sleuths, small-town murder mysteries, clean whodunits, foodie fiction, and cozy mystery series with recipes and heart.
