She'd spent many childhood summers near this beach community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery café and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey and her devoted Newfoundland dog, Wellington. 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-fiancé 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.Book Synopsis

A bit caracaturish for me

The key characters are a likeable bunch, if perhaps just a little caracaturish for me. There were some lovely red herrings along the way that kept the interest going, but this time I worked out whodunnit. At times suspicion was cast upon the most unlikely of people which did make one think twice, hmm!. The setting for this murder mystery is lovely and the motive for the actions taken, plausible. With thanks to Kensington Books, Netgalley and the author for my advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
