I guessed whodunit, but the plot was so intricate I found it really interesting and edge-of-seat about how it was done. Their nemesis gets on my nerves because it feels a bit over-the-top, but not so much that it detracts from my enjoyment of the book.

I'm thoroughly looking forward to the next one. Pretty good book; can't figure out the juvenile behavior of Olivia Unnecessary character or either make the behavior more adult like. Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura would like to win the chef's challenge at the Scottsdale Food Festival for a number of reasons: the prize money is good; it would be great publicity for their Fairy Tale Cupcakes Bakery; and they have a chance to beat their archrival Olivia Puckett.

Their enthusiasm is dampened however when the body of one of the judges, Vic Mazzota, is found. Mel is devastated by the death of her mentor and wants to find out who killed him. Will her investigation solve the murder or put her and Angie in danger? There is a lot to like about this book and series starting with the main characters - Mel, Angie, and Tate. The cooking competition is a nice creative idea - the competitors have to use a unique ingredient that is unknown to them until the last minute - and there are several recipes with those ingredients at the back of the book.

The mystery aspects of the book are as well done as the characters and bakery setting. There is a real sense of danger throughout the book as Mel gets a little too close to figuring out who the killer is. The book is deftly plotted - after finishing it you may want to go back to a conversation Mel had with the killer early on and realize what danger she was in throughout the book.

There are plenty of suspects to pick from and more than a few surprises. Besides the tension, there is some sadness in the book Mel was close to the victim and as always some nice humor Olivia is as annoying as ever but thankfully not quite as over the top as she was in Buttercream Bump Off Cupcake Bakery Mystery. Another great story about the Fairy Tale Cupcake Bakery and those that own it! There's a different, mystery ingredient for each round and famous judges from the Food Channel, one of which is Mel's former mentor.

When a judge turns up dead, Mel is close to the action once again. Determined to help find out what happened to Vic Mazzotta, she and Angie are off once again, sleuthing about town. The addition of an intern named Oz from a local school at the bakery assists the amateur detectives by being able to hold down the fort, even having some of his own ideas about how to bring in more business.

I thoroughly enjoyed the latest cupcake bakery mystery! Beware of all the great recipes in the back, they look delicious, even if they do include some of those odd, mystery ingredients! And I have to ask,--will we be able to purchase some of Alma's swag for the bakery anytime soon?! Thanks for another great story, Jenn McKinlay! Of course Melanie and Angie find themselves in the middle of a murder, soon enough, and are caught trying to find out who killed Vic, before the killer strikes again.

Everything about it was pretty much perfect. The plot kept me very interested, as I tried to figure out the killer and failed! More than just the murder it is the little sub-plots, like the rivalry between Fairy Tale Cupcakes and Confections, and the romance between Melanie and Joe, that kept me glued to the pages.

Jenn McKinlay writes so smoothly. Each scene flows into the next like a perfect jigsaw puzzle, and as I read on I kept turning the pages faster and faster wanting to find out how everything ended. I want to give a honorable mention to one character: Captain Jack, a la the kitty on the front cover. Oh Jenn McKinlay how did you know that aside from fantastic food, I just love kitties in mysteries?

While Captain Jack didn't play a big role in this book, I know he will have many more appearances and I can't wait to see what kitty mischief he comes up with! All in all this was a super, fantastic, wonderful read. I gave it 5 stars on Goodreads and I would've gladly given it more if I could. Mel and her baking partner, Angie, are entering a local bake off contest with the chance to win ten thousand dollars and a lot of publicity for their cupcakery. But when one of the judges is found murdered and frozen in a trailer, Mel finds herself not just baking but also investigating the murder.

I loved this cozy! The plot was fantastic as was the diverse cast of characters. Early on the novel Mel gets an intern from the local high school, Oz, who really shakes up the bakeshop. I thought he was a great character in the novel. If there's one thing I love more than a cozy, it's a cozy with a cat, or in this case, a teeny tiny kitten named Captain Jack! The cat the author described me reminded me a lot of my own cat, Mittens, who is now unfortunately two years old and no longer a baby kitten.

There was on problem I had with this book: the cupcakes! I started the book last night and when I was running errands earlier today and accidentally stumbled upon a local cupcake bakery, I had to go in. They even had cookie dough cupcakes, which were mentioned in the novel and I knew it was meant to be.

And it was delicious. So basically, be warned that this book will make you crave all things sugary, not that there's anything wrong with that. What was really great about this cozy was that even though it was the third in a series, it can definitely stand alone.

I haven't read the first two books in the series, but I had no problem following the plot or figuring out the different personalities of the characters. I love that! I think I'm going to have to go back and read the first two, though, just for fun. PS: Even though I was provided this book free through a giveaway, that didn't affect my review.

It was really good, read it! Mel and Angie and Tate, three good friends have become involved with the police again. It just happens they or the ones they love are at the wrong place at the right time to be suspected of wrong doing. They always save the day with the help of friends, relatives Oh, once an enemy helped them out.

I'm really enjoying this series and some of this author's other novels as well. Surprised to find out that her mentor, Vic Mazzotta, is one of the judges, Melanie is devastated when he is found dead before the competition begins.

As the contest proceeds, the danger to Melanie and Angie increases not just from their competitors but the killer apparently is threatening them too. I love the characters, the food descriptions and the mystery! Will be reading the next one soon! In this third installment in the Cupcake Bakery series, Mel and Angie enter a pastry contest in which her mentor is one of the judges. They hired a new unpaid intern, Oz, who resembles a thug.

Oz and others are holding down the fort at the bakery while Mel and Angie participate. One of the judges is found dead in the freezer, then there's a case of poisoning that sends one of the girls to the hospital. Among their competitors is obnoxious Olivia who is determined to retain her title. See my previous comments on this series simplistic at best but sometimes you need simple. Other books by Romance.
