DESCRIPTION:
When up-and-coming singing sensation Shelby Vaughn arrives in town for two weeks of concert dates, she hires her old friend Angie and the rest of the bakery crew to supply cupcakes for the VIP guest lounge every night.
After overhearing Shelby in a heated argument with her manager, Mel is concerned, but she and the crew decide to make the best of their time working with the star. Just as the bakers fall into the rhythm of the job, Shelby's manager is found dead, clutching a bit of fabric from a Santa suit and a cupcake. With the bakery crew and Shelby's backup dancers all dressed in similar Santa costumes, it's impossible to say who is the killer. When all suspicions lead back to Shelby, Mel and Angie stand up for their friend, determined to prove her innocence before she's frosted for a crime she didn't commit.
MY THOUGHTS:
Mel and Angie are about to dive into another enchanting cozy mystery by Jenn McKinlay. Christmas is just around the corner, and they’re hosting a singer who’s skyrocketing in popularity, Shelby Vaughn. She’s got concerts lined up for the next two weeks. While Shelby’s in town, she’s thrilled to catch up with her old pal Angie. Since Angie is one of the owners of Fairy Tale Bakeries, Shelby asks her to whip up some delicious cupcakes for the guests during her visit.
Oh no! Everyone’s shocked when Shelby’s manager is found dead. You see, Shelby had a heated argument with her manager just a few days ago, so she becomes the prime suspect. But there are other suspects too. In fact, there were a bunch of guys in Santa’s costumes at the time, dancing for one of Shelby’s performances. So, it’s going to be tough to figure out who the real killer is.
Mel and Angie, the murder-solving duo, are back to help Shelby clear her name and find the real killer. Just like in the previous books, this one’s sure to keep you hooked, especially if you’ve been following the series from the start. Mel and Angie have come a long way, and their stories are just so engaging.
Many thanks to Berkley Publishing Group and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
