About this listen

After Lindsey Bakeswell catches her celebrity chef fiance sizzling in the arms of another woman, Lindsey leaves big city Wall Street for small town Beacon Harbor, Michigan, to pursue her own passion as a pastry baker - and gets mixed up in someone's sweet taste of revenge....

More interested in kneading dough than adding it up, Lindsey's breakup inspired her to set up the shop she always wanted in a place that always made her happy. She'd spent many childhood summers near this beach community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery cafe and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey.

But not everyone in town has a sweet tooth. The preservation society won't have the lighthouse's history sugar coated by lattes and cakes - and a protest group crashes Lindsey's Memorial Day opening. Then her ex-fiance Jeffrey Plank and his girlfriend Mia Wong arrive to trash the place. In the ensuing chaos Mia chokes on a donut and dies.

An autopsy reveals cyanide in Mia's bloodstream and Lindsey is the police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she's going to need to combine ingredients found in the town's checkered past to uncover the identity of a desperate killer....

Great Details & Enjoyed the Setting

I loved the setting and the characters, the dog, and the mystery was so detailed. I hope the characters grow up a wee bit from millennial-aged as it’s not my interest. I also am not keen on ghosts, but, in the end there was no ghost. Fresh take in the genre. Thank you!

Fun and easy listen

This book had all the usual cozy elements - a woman starting a new chapter in life, a feisty best friend, a handsome neighbor, a dog, and of course lots of baked goods. But it still managed to be somehow different and uniquely interesting. I enjoyed the "trendy New Yorkers in a small town" angle- it was done in a way that was entertaining without overly stereotyping. The main character is smart and self-sufficient. The narrator did a great job bringing various personalities to life.

Good Story

I enjoyed this cozy mystery, but it was a bit long. I believe I’m getting used to listening to 5-7 hour books. Overall, it was interesting.
