From the back of the book: A heartless murder for Valentine's Day...
Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura must be doing something right with their Fairy Tale Cupcakes bakery. Their business rival, Olivia Puckett, is parading up and down the sidewalk dressed as a giant cupcake to steal customers. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, she's clearly feeling desperate.
Unfortunately, she's not the only desperate one in Scottsdale, Arizona. Someone has iced Baxter Malloy on his first date with Mel's mother. Her mom had been hoping for someone dropdead gorgeous---but not literally. Now she's a suspect, and Mel and Angie need to find time between frosting Kiss Me Cupcakes to dig into Malloy's shady past and discover who served him his just desserts.
********************************
Second in the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series and just as fab as the first, SPRINKLE WITH MURDER (http://iyamvixenbooks.blogspot.com/2010/07/sprinkle-with-murder-cupcake-bakery.html ) that I read last summer. What's not to love about a well-written mystery, with interesting characters, and cupcake recipes?
There are plenty of characters to look into for possible suspects. The victim was a cad and I could see why someone would want him dead.
I really don't like Olivia Puckett, the owner of the cupcake competition. I am torn between wanting to see more conflict between Mel, Angie and Olivia and kicking Olivia to the curb. She's that irritating and I love watching Mel and Angie and Tate getting the one-up over her.
DEATH BY THE DOZEN, third in this yummy series, is on pre-order for its release on 4 October. I can't wait!
Five yummy cupcake beans.....

Sounds like a fun series!
Mary: It is indeed.
The second just as good as the first, that sure sounds promising for the quality of the series. On the wishlist it goes.
Aurian: It's a fun one, for sure. Hope you like it as much.
