Momma Peach is about to take a relaxing cruise to Alaska. Or so she thinks! Oh, give her strength. When she arrives in Seattle to board the 'North Queen', the cruise is suddenly canceled due to a mysterious kitchen fire. But Momma Peach isn't going to be dismayed. She decides to travel to Alaska by road and heads north, but not without a rude stranger slipping an item into the pocket of her rain jacket. The stranger then travels to Alaska himself to retrieve the item and ensure Momma Peach never lives to speak about it.

When Momma Peach arrives at a cozy lodge located in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, she is thrust into a dangerous case filled with more twists and turns than she can barely handle. Forced to tackle a hired killer who ends up being tied to the cruise line the 'North Queen' belongs to, Momma Peach believes she is facing one shadow. But when a second shadow shows up and with deadly intent, Momma Peach is thrown into a deep hole filled with more questions than answers.

Will Momma Peach survive the Alaska wilderness filled with deadly traps or will she end up floating in a bowl of flour with pie on her face?

Cold Cruel Revenge

Once again I love this series. They stories just get better and better. This was one of the most edge of your seat intense books yet. When Momma Peach says you're a family well it's so true. She won an Alaskan cruise, but when they get to Seattle to board the ship catches fire. So they decide to drive to their lodge. It may have been a deadly mistake. There is a hired killer after Momma Peach and family. This is where it gets nail biting.
I was scared for everybody. Momma Peach was scared but she also held and handled that pocketbook like it was numchuckes. You don't play with Momma Peach, she will take you down.
This is another must read in the series.

All Momma Peach wanted to do was take a cruise to Alaska with Detective Michelle Chan, Able, and Sam. Unfortunately, their cruise was cancelled when there was a mysterious kitchen fire on the North Queen. Plan B was driving to Alaska and staying at Snowy River Lodge. What could possibly go wrong? The fourth book in the Sweet Peach Bakery series is packed with adventure, danger, secrets, and lots of humor. Momma Peach uses her know-how and sleuthing skills to keep the ones she loves safe. I like the addition of Able to the group. It is easy to picture a lovable nerdy guy! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens at the circus in book five.

Another Momma Peach mystery and it is a roller coaster. Murder and mayhem abound throughout the story. The characters in this series are great, a total cast of craziness. Momma Peach has the deadliest purse of anyone I know. Hope that Michelle and Able’s story grows in the next book. You will really enjoy this book, just when you think things are going to calm down another mystery raises its ugly head. Highly recommend this book to all mystery lovers.

Meh

I'm not a huge fan of this series (but when I commit, I commit), but this one was exceptionally poor. Confusing plot, weird relationship building, and continued stereotyped characters.
