My Book Review:
In Sprinkles Of Suspicion, the first book in the Cupcake Catering Mystery Series, author Kim Davis weaves an intriguing cozy mystery tale that follows the amateur sleuth adventures of accountant / aspiring cupcake caterer Emory Martinez.
Set in Costa Mesa, California, Emory Martinez wakes up with a massive hangover, a love bite on her neck, and no memory after a night out with best friend Tori Carlton. That night out costs Emory a lot, she finds her husband Philip cheating with Tori, and after a nasty cat fight on Tori's front lawn, they threaten each other, but Tori goes too far and plasters a naughty picture of Emory on Facebook that goes viral, and costs Emory her husband and her job! But that's just the beginning of Emory's troubles, she goes back over to confront Tori, and finds her dead on her bedroom floor. The next thing you know, Emory is considered the number one suspect in the murder of her ex-friend. With evidence pointing towards Emory, she is determined to clear her name and find out the identity of the killer.
Sprinkles Of Suspicion is an entertaining and fast-paced cozy whodunit tale that has enough quirky characters, witty banter and humor, romance, family drama, danger, and intriguing twists and turns. Told in the first person narrative, the reader can't help but get caught up in Emory's crazy amateur sleuth goose chase of an adventure as she tries to clear her name and solve Tori's murder. The story unfolds with a wonderful balance of comedy, romance, and drama that easily kept me guessing, and left me wanting more. I can't wait to read the next book in this delightful cozy mystery series!
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that at the end of the book is a scrumptious collection of recipes that will make your mouth water!
Sprinkles Of Suspicion is an entertaining story that cozy murder mystery fans will enjoy reading!
