About this listen
Judy Jenkins, part-time cupcake book author and full-time bully, is dead...but why do the police suspect Jane's sweet Amish sister, Rebecca?
When Rebecca is accused of murder - all over Amish sour cream spice cupcakes - it’s the start of another thrilling mystery for Jane Delight. Jane is eager to clear Rebecca's name, but with brooding Detective Damon McCloud wanting to whisk her away from the suspects, she’s in for the adventure of a lifetime.
Can Jane, Mr. Crumbles the cat, and Jane's meddlesome octogenarian roommates, Matilda and Eleanor, cook up a plan save the day?
Or is this mystery going to end in heart-bake?

Flora finds out he was staying at the Priory Hotel, and when the gardener suddenly dies in its beautiful grounds only a few days later, she is certain that something untoward is happening in her quiet village by the sea.

Settling into her new condominium on Mirror Pond, novelist Sallie Chilcoat feels lost in Ashburn, Virginia, after moving to the state for love of a man. But with the end of that relationship, she finds herself at loose ends. She stares out the window at the pond and contemplates learning to kayak...or taking up painting...or climbing Mount Everest. Movement in the overwater gazebo catches her eye, and she grabs up her people-watching binoculars to see a man sitting inside the gazebo playing an accordion.

Having fast-talking entrepreneur Marcus Rand turn up in her kitchen is annoying enough when he's alive - but finding his dead body face-down on her ceramic tile after hours is much worse.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

I just LOVE these stories
The characters are so lovable. Great humor. Write more! Nothing is ever perfect, but this is one of the closest. Even the "love" element doesn't steal from the story. It isn't cheesy or overwhelming. I know the "world of the Amish" and the information is most correct in these books.
