Sprinkle With Murder

Title: Sprinkle With Murder
Author: Jenn McKinlay
Rating: Four Guitars

Sizzilin' Summary:
Melanie Cooper is finally living out her dream as a cupcake baker with her friend Angie DeLaura. Their big order finally comes in: to cook a big batch of cupcakes for their friend Tate's wedding. Too bad that the bride-to-be, Christie, is a total meanie (and it's not just because she's getting married)!
But when Mel goes to talk to the bride about the cupcake flavors for the wedding, she discovers Christie dead! Mel becomes the prime suspect. She has to find out who really did it, before she ends up in jail, and/or her business goes out business...

Rockin' Review:
Technically, this is supposed to be a cozy mystery. But I'm not sure it's really worth the cozy part... but I'm new to the whole cozy theme, so don't depend on me there.
This book didn't get into the mystery part right away, but when it did, it did! The book was more heavy on the mystery, though it could do with a little work. We didn't really get to the clues until the end. But the main plot was stuck heavily with solving the mystery before everything crashed for Melanie.
It was well-written, and I highly enjoyed it. It didn't do as good a job as the Cats, but this first installment of the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series was still very good. I enjoyed it. It's a book worth getting, especially if you want something more dependent on the mystery!
