| Sophia
Cummings has returned to her home of Rumford, Kentucky. She’d
been living and working in New York City with her fiance,
Noah, until she discovered him in a compromising situation
with another staff member at the restaurant where they both
worked.
While
visiting Rumford, Sophia is talked into baking an elaborate
wedding cake for her friend Charlotte’s upcoming big
wedding. Unfortunately, the chef at the Rumford Country Club
is murdered in the kitchen where she plans to bake the cake,
and there are plenty of suspects on Sheriff Carter’s
list!
Sophia
agrees to fill in at the country club until a new chef can
be hired, but once a chef is found, she couldn’t be
more upset about anything. You see, they’ve hired her
no good ex-fiance, Noah!
As Sophia
noses around to help the sheriff find the killer, she finds
herself in physical danger, while developing romantic feelings
for the sheriff, and considering whether to go back to Manhatten
or to stay in town and open her own bakery.
With
wit and southern charm, this somewhat light-hearted mystery
proves itself to be an enjoyable read. Unmasking the culprit
is no cakewalk, but the reader knows that somehow, someway,
Sophia will prevail. The mystery kept me guessing, and I was
delighted to find some authentic Southern recipes at the back
of the story.
