Sprinkles of Suspicion by Kim Davis
5.0
This new series is just amazing! I loved every word despite the troubles that Emory finds herself smack dab in the middle, her overbearing and pretentious mother, and the slimeball husband. So many twists and turns that kept me engaged and hanging on every word wondering what could possibly happen next. And of course, there is a dog involved, so that is just the icing on the cake...or cupcake.
Emory is a simple, yet complex, character. She has hopes and dreams for her future but she can be a bit naive. She has been taken in by her husband and as his deception unfolds and the truth revealed, Emory finds that she is made of stiffer stuff and can weather this change in her life. I would like to see her challenge her mother a bit more and not just do whatever she says, but at the same time, her mother is able to help her with her employment situation and introduces her to a fantastic character, Tillie. I think Emory and Tillie will be involved in some crazy capers in future books, much to her mother's chagrin.
The mystery kept me guessing and I honestly was very surprised how this played out. I never suspected the killer other than thinking this character was a bit odd but no real details to prove up my thoughts.
There is a slew of supporting characters that I look forward to learning more about including a friend from Emory's past, Brad. There is a lot more to his story and I hope we discover more in the future. I think he could be a "sidekick" for Emory, but only time will tell.
Very enjoyable new series that checks off all the boxes for me. There are also many recipes and I might have to give some of the cupcake ones a whirl. We give this book 5 paws up.
