Murder Has a Sweet Tooth by Miranda Bliss is the 5th book in the “Cooking Class” cozy mystery series. Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime (Penguin), December 2009

Annie Capshaw has found that the way to a man’s heart is through his cooking class.  But just as she and her best friend, Eve, are planning Annie’s big day with Jim, her former cooking instructor turned boss, murder takes the cake—make that the wedding cake.

Determined not to be a bridezilla, Annie is trying to keep the nuptial nuisances to a minimum.  If only Eve could control her maid-of-honor mania!  And if only the groom’s cousin, Alex, who flew in from Scotland, could stay out of trouble.

But then ladies’ man Alex meets a lovely American lass—only to become a prime suspect when she turns up murdered. Instead of handling the details of a wedding, Annie is investigating the details of a killing. The victim seemed to be living the perfect life of a suburban wife—the life Annie’s always dreamed of. Now Annie has to wonder: Is married life a recipe for murder?

This was another good read. My rating: 3.5 stars
