Cupcake Crimes #7
Red Velvet Villainy
Valentine's Day is about to take a turn for the worse.
Charlotte McKay has a passion for baking cupcakes, but when the owner of the Soup Alleyoop restaurant is attacked, she trades in her baking hat for a chef's apron to help in the kitchen making soups. The beloved Gus wouldn't hurt a fly, so when he ends up in the hospital after being attacked, no one quite knows where to point the finger.
With the restaurant hanging on by a thread and a criminal on the loose, Charlotte knows she will have to solve this crime with a soup ladle in one hand and a cupcake pan in the other. When it becomes clear that there is more to the coveted soup recipes than meets the eye, Charlotte is certain that the person who attacked Gus won't stop until Gus is silenced once and for all.
"Red Velvet Villainy" is filled with layered clues and cozy moments, written by Molly Maple, which is a pen name for a USA Today bestselling author.

This series is certainly a go to for me when I need a light/fun/fast read. This edition to the story is no disappointment.
The Bonus: every book features a cupcake and at the end of each book is the recipe for that cupcake. I must admit that this one has me more excited than any of the others so far. I can't wait to test out this recipe and have my taste buds experience the story.

It's a delightful cozy mystery that starts with Charlotte and her aunt Winnie searching for a place for a Valentine's Day party. And they find a body...fortunately Gus isn't dead, though who would want to hurt the sweet old man? Luckily for Gus, Charlotte has a knack for mystery solving.
It's a fun little story with no murder this time! Charlotte does her thing, by helping out both Gus with his business and solving his case. She learns a little about herself and how she wants people to enjoy her cupcakes. With a mystery to solve and some babysitting to do, she has her work cut for her.
All in all, a fun mystery to read!!
Note: this is a series, but each can be read alone, though I'd recommend reading all of them for maximum enjoyment for the series.

Charlotte is a master chef when it comes to her cupcake bakery, but stepping into the shoes of a soup master artist? That is definitely an unexpected challenge. However, finding the sweet old man tied and unconscious with a need for medical attention, there is no other choice for Charlie than to take the apron and tend to the customers until Gus' return. All the while making new friends, maintaining her own relationship, and maybe solving a mystery of who could have attacked the sweet old man.
This cozy mystery was a happy fast read for me, switching off my brain and going away from reality, focusing on the plot and the clues in the story instead. Even though I did not read the previous books in the series and hence missed some past references, it did not diminish the joy from the reading experience and it was still easy to follow. The characters in this book represent a typical variety for a small town, and Charlie is a very selfless heroine with heart of gold (which can bite her one day, but it's her choice :) ) I really liked the book and maybe I will find some time to read the previous volumes to catch up.

Charlotte is helping her Aunt Winnie with plans for the Live Forever Club’s Valentines Day bash. When they arrive at the venue a unique eatery called Soup Alleyoop they find the owner Gus has been attacked and stuffed in a closet. Charlotte goes from full time cupcake maker to baker and part time soup maker in order to help Gus out. She’s shocked to the core that something so heinous could happen in their sweet little town. In her very small amount of spare time she tries to get to the bottom of who hurt Gus.
Enjoyed the small town atmosphere. Lots of focus on soup making and baking. Felt a bit confused about the relationships and who’s who. I would’ve like a quick reintroduction for those like me who have not read previous books in the series. Especially as this book is more character focused than mystery focused. It’s an enjoyable read. I liked seeing the growth of Charlotte as she tries new things. I’d definitely be interested in reading more in the series.

I've read all of the books in this series, and can say they're about 80% enjoyable. The side characters and settings are all interesting and feel alive (especially this book!). And who doesn't love a baker finding her confidence and building a new life?
My cons...which in this book especially are pronounced... 1) Charlotte sometimes is an idiot. The hesitancy she feels in the finale of this book is ludicrous, especially when we all figured out who it was pages ago. 2) The constant repetition of: she's a baker, this is her bf, this is her bff, this is who she's related to, do you know she's new in town? do you know she loves cupcakes?...i understand repeating elements for those who haven't read earlier books but this happens over and over and over. I started skimming past those paragraphs! when they came up.

Really 4.5 stars (but that's not a choice). Another fun read in this cozy mystery series that features books that are well written and detailed so that they do just fine as a standalone if this is your first venture (into this series). Twists and turns and just the right amount of humor are the perfect ingredients in this culinary cozy series of books with fun characters and never a dull moment. Never a spoiler in my reviews here's what else you need to know: Enjoyable book featuring Charlotte and Aunt Winnie both of whom can't seem to steer clear of trouble...full of great characters that keep your interest until you get to the end! Keeps you guessing and makes you smile! Just what you hope for in a cozy mystery and just the right length to give you what you would expect, moving at a good pace without getting boring.

SWEET AS CUPCAKE 🧁
This is another sweet gem, a fitting continuation to the existing series. It center's around the Valentine Day party that the Live Forever Club wants to organize, at the Alleyhoop Soup , a niche soup serving restaurant. The owner of the restaurant,Gus is found hurt and tied up in the pantry.
Charlotte, chips in to the daily running of the soup center along with baking her muffins. In the process,she not only makes a a new friend,but helps out with babysitting and teaches a kid to juggle and catches the culprit.
I love this series for the simplicity of plot and character. There's only one mainstream plot here- pure kindness. It heartens me to read this series and hope to continue to do so.
A very pleasant read and even though its part of a series, one can happily manage without reading the previous books.
Recommended : 👍 definitely.

I have read and truly loved every book in this series but this one touched me more than the others. Valentine's Day is right around the corner and, while trying to lock down a place to hold their party, Charlotte and her great-aunt, Winnie come across the assaulted owner of the local soup restaurant. They jump into action and Charlotte knows she needs to find the culprit. She ends up helping at the restaurant and it was nice to see her enjoying herself doing something else besides making cupcakes. Even though this book follows the others in that Charlotte and her bestie, Marianne, investigate, I enjoyed reading about her connecting with other locals and making a difference in their lives. I also loved her burgeoning friendship with the owner of the soup restaurant. I highly recommend this series. Happy Reading!

Oh my gosh, I just so enjoying reading the exploits of Charlotte and her friends and family.
In this installment, her great aunt Winnie and her are meeting with the owner of the soup and recreational shop for kids. After waiting for a while, they finally go exploring to find him. Someone has attacked the poor man. Charlotte, being herself, offers to help out in the kitchen while he is recuperating.
She does find the time to check in with her friend Marianne even if they don’t see each other since Charlotte is so busy. Charlotte also stops to see her friend Agnes and helps her finally clear out Agnes’ deceased husband’s items so that she can more on.
With all of this occurring, Charlotte is still trying to come up with her Cupcake of the Month flavor. She’s one busy lady.

Sweetness Galore
I've now read a few of author Molly Maple's stories and I've thoroughly enjoyed each one. This is simply yet another delightful adventure we get to see her character Charlotte McKay and "the live forever" club take on all whilst surrounding the enticing world of baking sweet and yummy treats.
Sometimes reading a book is simply for a time to escape real life and drop yourself into a wonderful world of adventure and this was just one of these moments for me. A story and to date a series of stories of Charlotte McKay, her Aunty and friends to help you see a different spark to life.

Good story, GREAT characters
For the first time in the series the crime is not a murder mystery, there is a mystery that still needs to be solved. This book is like the others well written, and the perpetrator of the crime is one that is unexpected yet not at the same time. The humor is not as prolific in this book as the others, though it is still having plenty of humor. I do love this series a good cozy mystery that always has some humor that will make me laugh out loud. Charolette is the Cupcake Baker of the little town that always seems to stumble into trouble and with her curious mind and crazy group of friends. Again, this is a Bell Pepper on the Pepper scale, and I give this a 4 out of 5 stars.
I hope this helps you find your next Tantalizing Tome.

4.5/5 Stars - The Live Forever Club may have taken a back seat in this story, yet it still had some of the funny elements in previous stories. I wished that there was more interactions with Logan and Charlotte, but her friends (new and old) proved there was strength in numbers. I"m not a fan of clam chowder either but red velvet is in my top 5 favorite flavors.

I started reading this fantastic Cupcake Crimes Series a couple days ago and found that I can't put it down. The mystery is always perfectly written and the cozy community shows how a teal community should be, loving and co!melted to being the best. Love Charlotte and how she, along with her crew solve the mysteries as well as become closer in the community.

Okay, so this one may not have been a murder, but it was another person found in a closet and another book that ended with Charlotte being strangled. We didn't even know the murderer existed as a character until way too far into the book. Then, once they showed up it was 100% obvious who it was, and even worse, the characters should have all known right away too! But they did not. This book was more frustrating than interesting cozy.

Cute story, clean read. I really like this series. I read a book from the series between my favorite genre, thrillers, to give my brain a little break. I’ve grown fond of the characters. The reason for the 3 stars isn’t because it was bad. I love this cupcake series, it’s more that it’s easy reading and it’s not something that keeps me up at night. It’s cute reading but not something that will wow you.

It's Valentine's Day time & Charlotte's Aunt Winnie & her friends are looking for a place to throw a party. While checking out a venue they stumble upon the owner who has been hurt and tied up. Lots going on in this one while they try to figure things out. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite series. I look forward to reading the next book.
