A city council party catered by local pastry chef Madeline McDougal suddenly goes dead... LITERALLY!
A fun event quickly takes a turn for the worst when one of the town councilman in attendance, Kipper Rio, is discovered dead. With no solid leads to go on as to the perpetrator of the crime, and the local police chief way out of his league. It's now up to Madeline with the help of her friends, to do some "snooping" and expose the killer.
If this murder case is going to get solved, Madeline and the gang need to move quickly and quietly. Unsavory characters are all players in this "deadly game," and the guilty party won't hesitate to kill again in order to protect their dark secret.
I enjoyed the story and her characters. The author has a good sense of humor and it shows in the plotline. This is the third in a series , and while the story line was good, the editing , or lack of it, led to an irritating experience in reading . The author jumps from present to past tense and back again , without making any sense . Certain words were misspelled , or not caught by spellcheck , such as "coup" being spelled as "coo". The author has talent and I was disappointed to see that this book did not live up to the standards of her previous two . I hope more time is taken in her fourth book .
Another good read from Ms Page. The mystery was fun to solve and there were plenty of suspects as well as plot twists. Looking forward to reading more about the characters in this series. Enjoyed this cozy mystery that is just the perfect story to be a evening read.
