About this eBook

Meet London's newest amateur sleuth, Scottie Ramone, in Banana Chiffon and Bad Deeds—A prequel novella to the Scottie Ramone Cozy Mystery series. 

A missing grandmother, a murdered neighbor and a crush from the past are just a few of the surprises waiting for Scottie in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Scottie Ramone has been having a lot of second thoughts about a lot lately; her pastry chef job in a five-star restaurant, her looming extravagant wedding (future mom-in-law’s idea) and spending the rest of her life with Jonathan Rathbone. The one thing she has no doubts about are her plans to open a vintage bakery.

When Scottie receives a frantic, late night call from her grandmother all her dreams, second thoughts and a truly delicious banana chiffon cake are put on hold. Much to her fiancé’s chagrin, Scottie packs a bag and heads up to Grandmother Evie’s house in Ripple Creek. 

Will she be able to sort out the chaos that awaits? Will she make it back in time for her own wedding?

Scottie knows one thing for sure; no amount of flower bouquets or yards of silk and lace will pull her away from Ripple Creek. She’s not leaving until she finds her grandmother.

Ratings and reviews

I LOVED IT! It's been a very long time since I've been able to read a book at all! THANK YOU LONDON LOVETT for your beautiful and magnificent imagination! I haven't had a phone for a very long time and truly missed reading your books! I absolutely love this book and can't wait to read more! Not to mention catching up on all the other series and starting your other new series! I may even start Port Danby over since it's been so long since I've read them! THANK YOU for sharing your talent and giving me a getaway from normal life! You are truly gifted! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Peace & Love!

I like the setting, in the mountains of Colorado, and the characters were interesting. And it didn't have a ton of repetition, as many mysteries do, to make the book longer. Succinct and with a happy ending of course! It's not Agatha Christie, but then nothing is!

the murderer was easy to figure out but the characters are good! And it's well written.
