Lexy Baker #12
No Scone Unturned
Why did someone kill Olive Pendleton and hide her body?
When bakery owner Lexy Baker and her posse of iPad toting grandmas witness a murder remotely through the camera of a drone, they go straight to Lexy's homicide detective husband, Jack, to report the crime. But with no body and no crime reported, Jack can't do a thing, leaving Lexy and her grandmother no alternative than to solve the murder themselves.
Armed with nothing but their gigantic patent leather purses and a dogged determination to see justice done, the ladies dodge a pack of overzealous Pekeapoos, nosey neighbors and an ornery husband in order to flush out Olive's killer before he kills again.

This is the twelfth book in the Lexy Baker series. Lexy pays a visit to her grandmother, Nans, and her friends. When she arrives she finds the ladies playing with Ida's grandson's drone that he uses for real estate. The ladies decide to fly it across the town. In doing so they witness a women being hit over the head and falling off the roof of a building right before the drone crashes to the ground and is taken by one of the dogs in the yard. Lexy and the ladies go over to the house where the incident happened but see no body. They go to the police station to see Lexy's husband to report what they saw, but without a body and no call to 911 he can't officially do anything. So Lexy and the ladies search for the killer and the body of the victim they saw.
I always like the Lexy Baker series because it is a quick and fun read. In previous books there was more of Lexy's best friend and them working at her bakery, The Cup and Cake. In this book there is only a brief mention of her friend and no scenes at the bakery, while still having Lexy show up with baked goods every time her and the ladies go to talk to someone. It something that annoys me because those were the aspects I liked when I started reading the series. The mystery was good. I didn't have the killer figured out until the last few chapters. There were more twists in this book and there being no body to start with was different, but a good different. I also feel that it is more of Lexy's grandmother and her friends doing the investigating that Lexy herself. The ladies are great but would love to see Lexy do more investigating on her own in the next book.

Twelfth in the author’s Lexy Baker Cozy mysteries, No Scone Unturned has a fun blend of young baker and elderly users of modern technology, "turning" expectations on end perhaps. Many wrong stones are turned in the course of this mystery, and right stones left unturned. But the scones are tasty, the characters are delightful, and the efforts to rescue a borrowed, crashed drone are great fun.
Short, sweet and fun, with a few pleasing twists and turns, No Scone Unturned is an enjoyable, fast, fun read.
Disclosure: It was on a deal and I enjoyed it.

Excellent Read
Good quick read. Makes you want to start hanging out some inquisitive ladies in their not quite retirement years. The laughs alone would be worth it.

Humorous plot and engaging characters, I loved the “mature ladies club” and their high jinks. I’ve read several in series and enjoyed them all.

Nice mystery
This was an enjoyable mystery. Nans and the crew were so on the wrong track. Clean read with out bad language. Rated G

Lexi Baker is one of my absolute cozy mystery characters, no scone unturned was another wonderful mystery in this great series.

Having read many books I have considered stupid, I found that this one fit right in.
Right from the beginning when Lexy and the ladies witnessed a murder and Lexy does not call her policeman husband because he is at work and doesn't want her to call him unless it is an emergency and, perish the thought, who would consider witnessing a murder an emergency.
So, by the time they gather themselves together, grab some scones to take along and make a decision to go to the Police Station and get there, 45 minutes has elapsed. More than enough time to hide a body and, for that matter, power wash the patio of the blood if it was so desired.
Her policeman husband says they can't investigate unless they get a call. What did he think they were doing at the police station? If I called, right now, and told the police I had just witnessed a murder, they would be at my house in a heartbeat.
So, the backboneless little puppet, Lexy, takes her puppet masters to the house where the murder occurred and they find there is no body. They are looking around, spot a giant freezer chest at the house and notice a gazebo, with a foundation and floor dug for concrete (hint, hint) but they decide the body must have been dumped in the pond on the premises.
So, they must investigate themselves by going to houses, peeking in the windows and being as inconspicuous as 5 women walking around a house, peeking in windows can be, going to people's houses to interrogate them, in the most casual way. If 5 people, men or women walked up to my house in a pack and rang my bell, I would feel more or less apprehensive about answering the door.
Then, super stupid, they check Susan's checking account to see if she has been receiving the $10,000 every other week that Olive's husband is getting in a cashier's check. And, there is nothing there and they assume that perhaps Susan really doesn't have a lot of money. Really?
Does anyone keep that amount of money in their checking account, or do they put in their savings, money market or safe deposit box? But then that would be logical thinking and these ladies are anything but logical thinkers. They come up with more scenarios as to the background, manner and methods to explain the occurrences than a screen writer might.
All in all, this group of old ladies and their puppet are a bunch of suspicious, abrasive pack of rats, who did not solve any case, but rather were rescued from being murdered by the last person they would have suspected. (Great detectives, eh wot!!)
And, lastly, considering that these ladies seem to spend all day, every day, eating up Lexy's profits by consuming free scones, brownies, cupcakes, etc., they must be a rather portly group.
Have no idea how Ms. Dobbs managed to write 12 of these stories if they all read as this one does.
Most assuredly not my cup of tea. I do not like books that insult my intelligence.

Lexy Baker's main business is her bakery 'the Cup and Cake' but her sideline is solving mysteries with her Nans (her grandmother Mona Baker), Ida, Ruth and Helen - Nans' three friends.
This time out, while watching the video screen on a drone that belongs to Ida's grandson, they see a murder happen! The problem is the drone crashes in the yard due to interferance from a pack of Peekapoos. Seems Ida isn't the greatest pilot and gets the drone just a bit too low. There is a chip in the drone with a recording of what they saw...they just can't seem to find out where the pups have stashed the drone! And then there is the problem of getting access to the property to search for the drone.
When Lexy tells her detective husband about the murder, he points out there is nothing he can do. No calls about a murder or injured person, no body, no reason for cops to be sent out to the house to search. It looks like it is up to the Brook Ridge Falls Senior's Detective Club to solve the crime!
A fun, cozy, light read with laughs and enough of a puzzle to make for a quick read. I plan to read a few more from this series!

It was a Surprise to me how Good this was
I wasn't sure about this one having 4 old ladies as major players. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with silver haired sleuths. Every chance I got once I started this book I sat down to read more. It seems funny to star a series by reading book #12, but it's not the first time I've started in the middle because the title appealed to me. I end up purchasing the whole series up to and then beyond the one I read. I get spoiled going from one book to the next without any lag time in between books. Then I am very impatient for the author to write another one. I see no chance of this being any different . I fell in love with these characters and they seem so real that I can relate to them. I want more of young Lexy and her geriatric "detectives" along with Lexy's Detective husband, Jack and his partner whose married to Cassie who works for Lexy. Believe me, once you read this book you will want more. These characters will captivate you. Read this book and you will be glad you did!!

The Notch Cozy Mystery Series {5 out as of this writing} and the Blackbore Sisters Cozy Mysteries are not on Kindle Unlimited which as said before about 1 & 7 {the only ones given free, sure would not have bought them} and ditto for Ghostly Paws which is 1 of 5 at this time but did get others free over time.
While some of her other books are Kindle Unlimited none of the Blackmoore Sisters Cozy Mysteries are which doesn't matter to me as read #1 and #7 and was way underwhelmed.

By the way, bakeries and other food service places don't run like that. Badly needs to proof things, it's messing up the flow of the book, which my computer reads to me, so that's bad. As for these, it's not that the situations couldn't happen, it's in the telling of the story, with unlikable unbelievable characters and situations, again.
Yet another goodreads won't hide it don't want to see the badly proofed badly plotted poor excuse for bad soft core porn crap. The 'historical' ones are like that and so are the some of the non cozy mysteries and some of the sorta but not really mysteries because can't write, etc ad nauseum. The most any of them got was 2 changed to 1 for crap cozy, some get a 1 which means basically crappy soft porn 'romance' etc.
3 in Silver Hollow Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series so far which are on kindle unlimited, 3 in the Moosamuck Island Mysteries , 5 in the Mystic Notch Cozy Mysteries so far {not ku}, Blackmore Sisters has 7 {not ku}, Hazel Martin Mysteries only has 1 so far, Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery series 12 so far is on ku.

Copy/paste fill in the blank seems to be pretty much what she is doing in her books, which wouldn't be half as bad if the plots and ploys and actions were believable at all.Just change the name for a book and maybe change the series list under, and you are right back to copy paste same old same old.
NOTE: I specifically mentioned certain of the 'books'/series were achieving soft core crap status, and specifically said which ones those were, reference AGAIN the above quoted review, and did not specifically mention the blackmore ones as that, BUT and had not mentioned that had went back and rated all no talent no plot cardboard charactered 'stories' listed above as 1 as well.

Lexy, her cop husband Jack, and especially her grandmother together with her gang of elderly nosy friends are at it again: via a drone one of them ... um... borrowed from her grandson, the witness a murder, but lose the drone in the process. And by the time they arrive at the scene, there's no body!
Jack cannot do anything, so it's up to Nan and her ladies, and Lexy, of course, to investigate.
Like the others in this series, no nail-biting suspense, not a thrilller as such, but a somewhat amusing mystery with lots of humour, great characters, and very good narration style and plot (although there are some holes in the story, but these are easily overlooked).
All in all, what I would call a "comfortable" book, something to read while putting one's feet up, with not another thing to do than enjoy a good story.

Say that you saw somebody being killed and you managed to film it. However, you used your nephew’s drone (without his permission), you lost said drone, and you really aren’t sure who did it or why. Other than that, it is just your normal murder mystery. Oh, yes, did I mention the fan club ladies and the sleuths – all eight of them – who could be labeled as crazy??? It’s a good thing that Lexy has Cassie to help with the bakery because Ruth really shouldn’t be trusted behind the wheel of her enormous antique blue Oldsmobile. I enjoyed rushing around and around and around with Lexy and her four senior citizens as they tried to get the police interested, find the drone, and find out who the murderer was.
October 22, 2022
This was closer to a 3.75 for me. Shockingly, Lexi didn’t irritate me as much as she had in previous books. She has matured a bit and seems to realize the amount of time she’s away from her store is inappropriate and tries to rectify that on multiple occasions; however; Nan and the other ladies are the issue and will continue to be the issue. They are still selfish, and put their needs and wants above Lexie’s including putting her in danger multiple times🙄🙄. Overall, it was a quick, fast read, not a bad mystery, though the clues were right in front of them 🙄🙄🙄

With the description of the scones, one wonders where we can get some. The antics of the women and the drone is priceless. A yard full of dogs, and one got the drone, now how to get it back. And was the woman there in trouble. Packing up the scones and wanting Lexy to drive them to the station. Her husband was a detective, and sometime these women as PI help, but would he this time. Delightful, humorous, and a definite one to read in this series.

This is the 12th in the series. In this one Lexy and her Nana's friends are playing with a drone when they decide to fly over to where she will be doing her first catering job. While they were checking everything out, they end up witnessing a murder. But they are not sure who was murdered and when no one reports it they are stuck trying to figure out who was murdered and why.
I really enjoyed this one.

Fun cozy mystery. Lexi, her grandmother, and her grandmother's friends from the retirement home are at it again. This time the author's former career as a software engineer is showcased when one of the senior ladies starts playing with her grandson's drone and captures a murder on the drone's camera. But the drone crashes and no body is to be found, so no official police investigation could be launched. LOL funny at times with a convoluted plot.... I would definitely read more in this series.
April 13, 2019
Certainly in the cozy mystery category. Lexy is a bakery store owner who tests out her new creations on her grandmother and her grandmother's friends. One of them borrows a drone from her grandson and shows it off to her friends. They witness a murder but can't retrieve the drone because a dog grabbed it and hid it. Nobody is reported missing, so the old ladies have to do the detective work.
At the end of the book is a nice recipe for a chocolate scone.

Lexy and the ladies are at it again. They witness a murder while playing around with a drone. The police can't investigate because there was no report of anyone missing or being killed. The ladies take it upon themselves to solve the mystery. I enjoyed this book immensely and you will too.

I am not a fan of this series. The old ladies are portrayed as brainless, and the way they all (including the not-so-old lady who runs the bakery) jump to conclusions does not lead to an enjoyable unraveling of a mystery. The food sounds wonderful, otherwise I'm glad it was free and short. Obviously others have enjoyed the series, so I'll just say it's not my cup of tea. You may feel differently.
March 14, 2019
The elderly ladies of the Detective agency love Lexi's baked goodies almost as much as a good murder to solve. Love this series, it is fun and easy to get caught up in the twists and turns. The police detective that is Lexi's husband tries to keep them on track and out of trouble but hell, that just adds to the fun & mayhem.
Fun read.
Fun read.

Will the real victim please stand up !
The twists and turns of this mystery will keep you guessing and following clues right up to the big surprise reveal. It's amazing how much trouble four old ladies, a young baker and a drone can get themselves into and out of while solving a mystery and consuming amazing pastries.

I rarely abort when reading a book. I am the eternal optimist when it comes to slow starts. I just know it will get better. Not this book. Its plot was so weak from the very first page that I could not sustain hope for it to redeem itself. I guess if reality isn’t important to you, this might be entertaining. Otherwise, I’d recommend that you just keep moving.

No Scone Unturned
If you just want to relax and enjoy a book that has a murder, humor and a lot of love then read a cozy mystery. This one was even better then most. I will be reading more by this author. I did receive this book in a giveaway but that didn't affect my rating at all.

Nothing Like a Sister
Peekapoos, chocolate scones, and a lovely cozy mystery sure kept me jumping hoops trying to figure out who done it and why. I was beginning to think I needed a white board myself just to keep track of all the clues!! Great book and a chocolate scone recipe too!

Fun fast mystery
This group of cute older ladies will have you laughing as they try to solve a murder and eat lots of treats along the way. This is actually the 2nd book I've read by this author with the characters and enjoyed it. It can be read alone if you don't want to read a series.

Fun in the sun reading
Leighann Dobbs has an enjoyable, easy gong writing style. If you want to cozy up to a light mystery in the dog days of summer, but don’t feel like reading a chest tightening, high intrigue murder, then the Lexy Baker Cozy Mysteries are the perfect read.
I’ve never been disappointed by one of Leighann’s books. Enjoy!

This was a cute cozy mystery. Lexy and her friends from the retirement home come to conclusions about a murder they believe they witnessed. Her retired friends are determined to get to the bottom of the mystery with funny misadventures. Part of a series. The banter is a bit over the top, but overall, it was a fun change in genre.

Frozen funds
Oh
I liked that a mystery WRITER WAS INVOLVED. I DISLIKED THE DECTETIVE
Being less involved and engaged in the plot. Police are not dim. They love solving mysteries, that's why they choose that profession,. lexy gets closer to the old ladies then To her husband, erasing any electricity between them. just not right.
