Missy and her cupcakes are back on TV with the filming of The Bayou Baker. The LaChance store is closed for repairs after something exploded in the kitchen, so everybody is working at the Dellville Store. Business is booming and Missy hired a new employee, Frank Stiles, to handle the deliveries. Missy's friend, Echo, is also very taken by Frank and thinks they might make a good couple.
Frank and Brad Parker, the cameraman filming the TV show, get into an argument regarding Echo in Missy's cupcake shop, with other people also adding to the discussion. Following the discussion, Missy warns Echo that Frank's attitude seems to be overly possessive. The next day, Brad is found dead in his hotel room. Meanwhile, Echo and Frank have suddenly disappeared.
Who killed Brad? Where are Frank and Echo? Is Echo safe? Can Missy figure out what is going on without putting herself in danger?
Summer Prescott has done a wonderful job of creating suspense in this book with plenty of twists, turns and red herrings. Makes you wonder if some people are really who they seem to be.

“And just where in the heck is my cameraman?”
Well Echo really did it this time…
Frank Capetti is Missy’s new delivery driver and Echo is enamored with him. He's handsome and kind and happens to be dating Echo for the past few weeks.
Missy's oven explodes and rather than accepting money from her billionaire boyfriend, Chas Beckett, she chooses to earn her own money by accepting one of the dozen deals from a production company to film her own baking show in her cupcake shop.
However, shortly into her filming career, the cameraman Brad is murdered and the last person seen arguing with him is none other than Frank Capetti. A witness points this fact out which immediately puts Frank on the police's radar as the main suspect. But where is Frank? He's nowhere to be found is where.
Missy had warned Echo against Frank by telling her to be careful because he seems overly possessive and talked about Echo like she was an object. When Echo disappears, too, Missy goes looking for her in her home, but Echo's house is empty. Missy hears something in the house and of course she goes searching because maybe Echo is tied up or hurt. Just as Missy gets to the room where the source of the sound was, she sees no one, but then just as she turns around... sharp pain and then darkness.
This was pretty intense and had my stomach in knots which is a good sign in a building suspense. There was also a bit of a twist ending and the killer was who I suspected, but I wasn't quite sure until the reveal. And another mystery that police all over the country still hadn't solved was also uncovered.
And on a side note: if Missy gets hit, poisoned, or sedated one more time, she may be in the next book as a murder victim, but then we'll discover she wasn't murdered, but that she finally died from being knocked out one too many times! Lol.
Lastly, Missy does cry in this book, but at least her tears are warranted and when she did, at least I wasn’t rolling my eyes and thinking, “Again with the tears??”
Next is book 14 of 32 - Raspberry Creme Murder.

A bit of a different direction with this book but it's good. Missy is approached about doing another baking show but this time they want to film in one of her stores and after some initial hesitation she agrees and everything is going well, Echo is dating a new guy Frankie, the crew for the show are all just amazing until there's a murder and then they're not. Frightening twists for Echo and Missy and while they're saved from bad situation it's still a tough issue and when they find not one but three separate criminals, each equally horrible, well it's the kind of surprises you don't really want. A very deep and slightly dark book but really well done. Great read.

Good story
This is a good story. It has a bit more intensity than the last few. I really enjoyed it. I recommend this series if you are looking for a quick, easy read that doesn't make you think!

A good who done it story with a double plot. Echo & Frank go missing and them Missy disappears
July 8, 2019
Missy finally finds her friend Echo a man. Of course it doesn't turn out as anybody expects other than the reader. Again these are Miniature novellas not actual books

Well, this was an interesting book. I must say, Missy gets herself is the oddest predicaments. Her Hollywood adventure it's quite over at the moment. She is so swamped that we see her hiring new staff. The new staff don't really get introduced in this book, but there was a lot more going on at the time, so it's forgiven.
I am enjoying the new things that are happening with the book. Though she does talk about the crime, she doesn't actively put herself in any danger during the length of the book, however, that doesn't stop danger from finding her.
I really enjoyed this book, but I swear they are like tic-tacs, they don't last very long.

This was good. I keep hoping that Chas will propose, but so far, he hasn't. This story starts with Missy finally agreeing to a reality show based on her cupcake shops. When a cameraman is murdered, it looks like her BFF Echo's crazy boyfriend may be to blame. Echo and the boyfriend take off for parts unknown, and Missy is abducted. Chas and everyone else is worried and hunting for her but when she escapes her captor and makes it to safety, they are surprised to find that the bad guy isn't who they think it should be. Read it and see for yourself just how addicting this series is!

Omg! It just keeps getting better. I can't believe there are already this many books in the series and it keeps getting better. I couldn't believe all the adventure Missy and Echo had to deal with. I'd love to hear more about the baby obviously, but it was a great book and can't wait to read the next one. Must read cozy series

Interesting turn off events.
This one really kept me reading. I just couldn't put it down. I thought for sure I knew who the killer was. I was totally wrong. Can't wait to read the next book.

Loved it!
It's been a pleasure revisiting this series. The mystery is well written and the characters are amazing. I'm seriously happy Summer Prescott has gone back in and redone this series and released them again.

Good book
I’ve enjoyed reading the books in this series. I gave it 4 stars because I’ve noticed that in every book Missy has been either a suspect or a victim. I’m not sure if this is going to be a reoccurring theme in every book.

A pleasant enough cozy mystery featuring a cupcake bakery owner and her cop boyfriend, along with other friends and business owners.
