A Baker's Treat Mystery

review 1: Toni's grandmother, Ruth, shares center stage in this second, smart and funny installment of the Baker's Treat Mysteries. I really loved the play of Toni's reluctant heroine against Ruth's sheer exuberance at experiencing all things to the max. Beyond Ruth's nosy journalistic inclinations, she just loves the experience of getting arrested. If only we could all live life like that. Toni, on the other hand, has to balance her business during this peak holiday season, with tracking down a murderer if for no other reason than to keep Ruth from getting into ever increasing trouble. Add a kid with Asperger's and the fastest growing puppy ever to this cast of well-defined, colorful characters, and you get everything you could ever want in a great cozy mys... moretery.
review 2: I loved her first book, but I was disappointed in this one. I liked the recipes in the back of the book and made the "Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Bars" I did not however follow the story line. The character was too reserved with not wanting to find out who the murderer was. It took almost losing her grandmother for her to finally get involved. If the character had been more involved through out the whole book it would have made better sense to how she figured out who the killer was. This was only coincidental in the end. The love interests between the two men really need to be more then just a little flirting. If her best friend can move on in this book then why can't she? Like I said I did enjoy the first book, and I would purchase the next book in the series. I would have appreciated an afterward concluding how everyone else was doing in the end. less
