Cupcake Bakery Mystery

review 1: #3 in the Cupcake Bakery Mystery set in Scotsdale, Arizona featuring Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura co-owners of Fairy Tale Cupcakes. They enter baking contest in a local festival to increase notice of their bakery and soon find themselves in the middle of a murder mystery as a lead judge is found murdered.A lot of humor in the mystery in the interactions among the characters; especially Angie and her brothers. A fun read with a decent mystery.
review 2: I have been trying to read my way through this series. about a cupcake bakery. In this book, number three in the series, the protagonists, Melanie and Angie are involved in a reality TV style cooking competition. This was really a fun read in the series and the plot line had a very modern feel, as Food N... moreetwork is constantly hosting these type of shows.One of the judges, who happens to also have been Melanie’s mentor, is killed at the show and it seems like it is being written off as suicide. Melanie can’t believe it and begins to investigate on her own. The pace of the book is very good, giving you the feel of the frantic nature of the action. Melanie and Angie are juggling the shop, their personal lives, the competition and now the murder investigation. A new character, Oz, is introduced and I just loved him and hope he continues in the series.The method of murder is really interesting and what actually happened, how Vic ended up in the freezer, was very original and well done. This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. The writing is well done, the mysteries are well plotted and the characters are fully fleshed out. Great cozy in a great series. less
