Spotlight: Murder With A Side Of Red Velvet
You may remember my earlier review of Skylar Warren’s cozy mystery Murder With A Side Of Red Beans And Rice. Set in small Georgia town of Willow Bluff, it was the first in The Honeybee Diner Mysteries series. Today, the second book in the series is available.
At the centre of Jessie’s pitch-perfect dinner table sits a tiered red velvet cake, decorated in pearly-white icing and delicate pink roses, just waiting for its moment to shine. But when groom Tommy Prescott takes a bite, he immediately slumps to the floor, dead. His wedding toast becomes his eulogy as his bride collapses in a sobbing heap of tulle and lace beside him.
Back at Honeybee’s Diner, Jessie dusts down her apron and rolls up her sleeves, fixin’ to find the killer—fast. But as folks around town start to spill the beans, she realizes this investigation won’t be a piece of cake. The happy couple were surrounded by bad apples—was it the one of groom’s grown children who feared they would lose their inheritance? Or the bride’s former foe, in an extreme case of sour grapes?
Honing-in on the bride’s years at Willow Bluff High, Jessie has success in her sights. But then the wedding planner goes missing, and the investigation looks to be well and truly cooked. Terrified the blushing bride could be next, the race is on for Jessie to follow the breadcrumbs and catch this killer before the whole case crumbles…
Published by Bookouture, Murder With A Side Of Red Velvet is available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, Audible, Booksamillion, or ask your local bookseller (or library) to order it. Personally, I can’t wait to see what Jessie, Tee, and the gang are up to now.
Don’t forget, red velvet cake goes great with a latte!
