Cupcakes or cake?
I love them both.
In Sugar Plum Poisoned, Mel and Angie run a bakery in
town. As they prepare for the holidays,
Angie’s old friend, the now famous singer Shelby, has arrived back in town to
give a Christmas concert. The friends
enjoy being together again, but when Shelby’s manager is found murdered, will
they be able to solve the crime?
Sugar Plum Poisoned was a cozy Christmas mystery that
I enjoyed. I loved the friendships, the
baked goods, and trying to solve the mystery.
I did guess who the murderer was before the end, but I enjoyed the
journey getting there. I did feel
stressed out for Mel when both sides of her family wanted her to host a very
specific holiday celebration when she was already busy with her bakery and
solving a crime.
I did not realize this was book 15 in the series when
I read it. It worked well as a
standalone novel, but I would love to learn the history of the characters. I may need to check out the other books in
this series.
Susan Boyce was a good narrator for this audiobook.
