Bakers around the city are dying from exquisitely decorated but deadly pastries.

The police are baffled, including Claire's fiance, Police Detective Brian Corrigan and his annoyingly sexy new partner.

Claire struggles to get one step ahead of the murders, but when she gets so close she can smell the vanilla, the murderer turns the tables. Claire gets a taste of being the hunted and must fight for her life against a cunning and ruthless killer.
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
This is my first book by Carole Fowkes and it was a good cozy mystery. In this book meet Clair, a private investigator who is hired to find the killer of a local pastry chef. Even though I had not read any of the other books I found this one easy to read on its own. There is a bit of a love triangle that I felt I may have understood a bit more if I had read the other books but it doesn’t take anything away from the plot of this one.
It sounds like a great read & a fun ‘whodunnit’! I can’t wait to read it. Thanks for sharing.
