To Have and to Kill by Mary Jane Clark
3.0
After being dumped by her fiancé, Piper Donovan decides to get a fresh start. So she moves back home and works with her mother in her bakery shop called The Icing on the Cupcake. Piper used to be a daytime soap opera actor on a show called A Little Rain Must Fall. That is until her character dead.
Glenna Brooks, a fellow actor on A Little Rain Must Fall is getting married. She asks Piper to make her wedding cake. It seems that someone is not pleasured with the idea of Glenna getting married. First Glenna receives a threatening message and next people all around her are dying. It is up to Piper to save a wedding before there are no guests to attend.
To Have and To Kill is the first book in a new series, A Wedding Cake Mystery. I liked this book. It is a nice, sweet cozy mystery. Piper needed to be fleshed out a little more as a character but I could see her potential. This was a quick read. The chapters were only a few pages. There was a lot of suspects thrown in the mix but the reasons to suspect them were not that strong. In addition, I didn’t really get to know the characters that were dying, so I didn’t feel bad that they were gone. In fact, there was a lot of every man or woman for themselves attitude. The yummy recipe in the back for the Butter cream Icing is a nice bonus. I am going to make it. While there was some flaws, it was not enough to keep me from checking out the next book in this series.
