Today I'm excited to share the cover of A Batter of Life and Death by Ellie Alexander, the second book in the Bakeshop Mystery series. This book releases June 30, 2015 by St. Martins Press. Welcome to Torte--a small-town family bakeshop where the coffee is hot, the muffins are fresh, and the cakes are definitely to die for… It's autumn in Ashland, Oregon--'tis the season for a spiced hot apple cider with a serving (or two) of Torte's famous peach cobbler. It's also the perfect time for Jules Capshaw to promote her family's beloved bake shop by competing in The Pastry Channel's reality show, Take the Cake. The prize is $25,000. But as Jules quickly learns, some people would kill for that kind of dough. Literally. Then, just as Jules dusts off her Bavarian Chocolate Cake recipe and cinches up her apron, the corpse of a fellow contestant is discovered--death by buttercream. What began as a fun, tasteful televised adventure has morphed into something of a true-crime detective show for Jules and everybody else on set. Who could have killed Chef Marco, and why? Can Jules sift out the killer before someone else gets burned? Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | Indiebound Don't miss out on book one, Meet Your Baker, available now!

The first book in a new culinary cozy series full of sharp humor and delectable dishes--one that might just be killer.... When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case. With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block...

Christmas may be over but the gift giving continues. I’m delighted to welcome author Susannah Hardy here today to talk about her new series and debut mystery, FETA ATTRACTION. Thanks to Susannah and t

Stars: 5 out of 5 Pros: Characters we love and a compelling mystery Cons: None to be found The Bottom Line: Mysterious past Drives compelling present plot Fast reading delight Leave Room on your Bookshelf for this Well Brewed Mystery When you are a beer brewer who studied in Germany, you have an annual Oktoberfest celebration. And when you writing a cozy mystery series about such a brewer, you find a way to set a mystery around this celebration. That’s just what Joyce Tremel has done in A Room with a Brew, and the result is the strongest book in the series. The book opens as Maxine “Max” O’Hara is working on the final preparations for the weekend celebration, which is still a couple of weeks away. She wants to listen to the band she’s hired to provide the German music and make sure they are what she is looking for, so she grabs some friends and heads down to where they are performing that night. While she and her friends enjoy the music, the evening ends on a weird note when Felix, a member of the band, insists that he knows Candy, Max’s neighbor and the owner of the neighboring Cupcakes N’at. Candy absolutely denies it and goes outside when Felix won’t take no for an answer. The next day, Max receives a call from a member of the band that he wants to tell her something, but it has to be in person. Is this related to the weird encounter between Felix and Candy? Candy promises to tell Max what that encounter was all about, but before she does, a body turns up. What secret is Candy hiding? Did it lead to murder? Before we go further, I do need to warn you that this book spoils much of the first book in the series. All that means is you should read the series in order. Trust me, that isn’t a hardship at all since all the books in this series are lots of fun. This book continues the trend. The plot was very well done, and I was hooked from the beginning. I could hardly wait to find out what was happening. The pages flew by, and I read the book in two days instead of my usual three days to read a novel. That’s now engrossed in the story I was. We get some twists and surprises before we reach a climax that explains everything. I realized how much I love the characters in this series as I started reading it. Max comes from a close-knit family. While we don’t get to know all of them well, it is wonderful to see a family that loves each other this much. And they are always expanding to welcome neighbors and friends. While Candy has been a presence in the earlier two books in the series, we obviously get to know her better here. And Max’s relationship with her boyfriend Jake is wonderful as well. The characters introduced to be suspects here are strong and kept me confused until the end. No, we don’t get any beer recipes in the back of this book, but we do get some recipes for things like a beer soaked brat and German potato salad. Personally, I’m most intrigued by the Pittsburg Pretzel Salad. With endearing characters and an engaging plot, A Room with a Brew is a fantastic read. Grab a favorite beer or other beverage of choice and cozy up with this book. NOTE: I received a copy of this book. Giveaway! Thanks to the publisher, I have one copy of this book to give away.
