About this listen

After Lindsey Bakeswell catches her celebrity chef fiance sizzling in the arms of another woman, Lindsey leaves big city Wall Street for small town Beacon Harbor, Michigan, to pursue her own passion as a pastry baker - and gets mixed up in someone's sweet taste of revenge....

More interested in kneading dough than adding it up, Lindsey's breakup inspired her to set up the shop she always wanted in a place that always made her happy. She'd spent many childhood summers near this beach community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery cafe and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey.

But not everyone in town has a sweet tooth. The preservation society won't have the lighthouse's history sugar coated by lattes and cakes - and a protest group crashes Lindsey's Memorial Day opening. Then her ex-fiance Jeffrey Plank and his girlfriend Mia Wong arrive to trash the place. In the ensuing chaos Mia chokes on a donut and dies.

An autopsy reveals cyanide in Mia's bloodstream and Lindsey is the police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she's going to need to combine ingredients found in the town's checkered past to uncover the identity of a desperate killer....

I really enjoyed the story, but I didn’t get on with the narrator but that just me. Would recommend

Good story

Good dog interactions. If you were a childhood fan of Nancy Drew you will appreciate this. Baking descriptions were drool worthy.

Nice little twist

This book is padded out with the repetition of certain words, details of said 'baked goods' also repeated continuously, clumsy added description where it's not required. I think it could have just been a short story with these taken out.

Repetition of the words 'baked goods'

a bit predictable, but the characters are likeable. It did annoy me that the main protagonist decided to 'smell the breath' of the dead body to decide if there was poison used. If there was breath, surely there was no body? But on the whole, it was a decent read for the genre.

decent storyline, good characters

Everything here smells divine or heavenly… all characters are extremely good looking. Just so American, oversized, ‘on steroids’. Really bad

So bad…

Bakery/cafe settings are becoming commonplace. I didn't like the main characters - too rich and privileged. The English woman was particularly awful. The basic plot was ok but too much padding. Do we really need recipe details?

Simple plot. Well narrated.
