Sugar Plum Poisoned by Jenn McKinlay
4.0

Sugar Plum Poisoned is super quick and festive read for the next installment of the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series by Jenn McKinnley. This time around Mel and company provide cupcakes for the VIP lounge during the holiday show performances of an up and coming singer that Angie knew when she dated Roach. Everything is festive and fun until Mel ends up locked in a room and a the singer’s manager is found dead. Adding onto the stress of the holidays and a dead body, Mel and company race to find out who’s being the grouch and ruining all the holiday fun. 

One of the main things I love about a cozy mystery series is following along with our main characters and their lives and I love that Mel and Joe are happily married and thriving. Angie and Tate have their baby girl and Oz is running his own kitchen but still very much apart of the Fairytale Cupcake crew. Marty is still manning the counter and dating their competitor Olivia- how that manages to work is beyond me lol.  Can’t wait to see what the crew gets up to next!
