 Thank you Kensington Cozies for a copy of Murder is a Piece of Cake!

"Can young entrepreneur and social media influencer Maddy Montgomery run a bakery, care for a gigantic English mastiff, and cultivate a picture-perfect relationship—all while exposing a murderer?"

Murder is a Piece of Cake (Baker Street Series) is for anyone looking for…
• Cozy mysteries with big personalities
• An adorable, giant dog
• Budding, wholesome romance
• A bakery setting

I read the Baker Street Series earlier this year and what a fun way to start 2024! Maddy is such an endearing character and her big personality makes readers want to root for her. The mystery in the book wasn't simple and there's enough complications in the story to keep readers on hook and left guessing. Overall, the Baker Street Series is easy and enjoyable and left me wanting to try some of Baby Cakes Bakery's cakes and croissants!
