For the Fairy Tale Cupcake crew, wedding bells turn to death knells in this latest mystery in the New York Times bestselling series.

With Angie and Tate’s wedding just around the corner, it’s a happy time for Melanie Cooper and the bakery crew. Not only are they finessing the last minute details of the big day, but their bakery, Fairy Tale Cupcakes, has just been hired to bake cupcakes for the blockbuster book signing of a controversial author who wrote a steamy bestseller filled with juicy local gossip.

But one by one, the people Angie has hired to work at the wedding begin turning up dead. As the body count rises, the bestselling author is the next to bite the dust. Mel quickly realizes she needs to figure out how the murders are connected and why–before the killer brings the entire cupcake crew crumbling down. After all, Angie and Tate deserve their sweet happily ever after.

Includes Scrumptious Recipes!

Jenn has done it again by baking a delightfully engaging whodunit that captures the essence of the characters I love and their ability to sift out the criminal element in this delectable enticing series.

I devoured this well-written and amusing tale in one sitting as I had to know the who, the how and the why of the killing and will Angie and Tate make it to the church on time. The author does a great job in staging this light tale with suspects and clues to satisfy every little quirk necessary to make this an enjoyable read. From the moment the first body was discovered to the reveal of the killer’s identity, this story encompasses all that I like in a cozy mystery and I thank the author for giving me that. This is definitely the best book in the series and I look forward to the next book where I hope to see another couple get their wish.
