About this ebook

 Murder hits a little too close to home for bakery owner Lexy Baker when a grim discovery is made in her homicide detective husband, Jack's, basement. 
With Jack as the main suspect, Lexy has to turn up the heat and find the real killer while still trying to whip up the perfect meringue cookie recipe for the Brook Ridge Falls Desserts Contest. Normally, she would enlist the aid of her amateur detective grandmother, Nans. Except ... 

Nans has a secret and is uncustomarily disinterested in investigating. Not to be daunted, Lexy turns to her iPad-toting posse of grandma sleuths who help her sift through the clues in an investigation that keeps dishing up the most unlikely suspects. 

When a surprising twist causes Lexy to suspect those closest to her, it makes her wonder if some things from the past aren't better left alone. 

Ratings and reviews

I love the lexy baker series but there are some spelling mistakes that should be sorted by now, other than that I enjoyed it, it's light hearted reading with a bit of humour, suspense & wonderful pastries, i would have liked the victim in this book to have died from something else as it was the same as the last book, I've purchased all books so far & would highly recommend them, 😊

One if my biggest pet peeves is when an author starts getting lax in regards to new ideas or research. Using the same poison to kill in this book as the previous is a waste of the readers time. I love this series because of the characters, but I'm incredibly disappointed in the effort used to write this book.

As with the other books in the series, I love the characters. But this ending was disappointing.
