Fireworks, a Firecracker, and Foul Play – D E Haggerty

Death by Cupcake, Book Five

Four of five stars given

Anna is working on her wedding cupcake cake when Ben – Callie’s cop boyfriend – arrives at the cake shop to tell her Logan – her fiancé – is IN jail, for the alleged murder of a gang member.  The gang he was investigating under cover.  Doesn’t matter how many people tell her not to, Anna is determined to investigate and figure out who actually did it.  After all, she’s supposed to be getting married in fourteen days!

“It’s not like the homicide detectives in this town are always the most competent.”

And that’s when it all goes a little nuts.

Fun characters, an intriguing premise, and a lot of yummy cupcakes, all combined to make this a fun read!  Number Five in the series – I haven’t read the others . . . yet – but never fear, this reads well as a stand alone.
