Meet Melissa Gladstone, a hometown Southern gal, with a nose for clues and a talent for tasty cupcakes!

Nearly everyone in the sleepy town of LaChance, Louisiana knows about the rivalry between local celebrity baker Missy Gladstone and Darryl Davis, the down and dirty donut man from across town, but no one ever thought that their fierce competitive streaks would one day lead to murder.

Chas Beckett, LaChance’s handsome new homicide detective, has some serious questions for Missy and her loyal assistant Ben, and it’s up to Missy to figure out who the killer is before the two of them find themselves in jail.

Will Missy end up losing the business that she’s struggled so hard to build after the death of her parents?
