Welcome to Litsy!

For fans of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier comes the second in Maymee Bell�s delectable Southern Cake Baker mysteries. Sophia Cummings may be unlucky in love, but she knows that the way to a man's heart is through his sweet tooth. This evening, she plans to use that knowledge�and her skills as a New York City-trained pastry chef�to open the hearts and wallets of Rumford, Kentucky�s richest men. Sophia, proprietress of For Goodness Cakes, has been commissioned to cater the Heart of the Town Library charity fundraiser at Grape Valley Winery. She�s spent all her dough to make this a successful event, raise her profile, and win more plum catering jobs. At first, the going is as smooth as an elegant chocolate ganache. After nibbling Sophia�s tasty treats, Ray Peel, the winery�s landlord, announces he will pay off Rumford�s library loan. But the evening soon turns decidedly frosty when Ray is murdered�before he can make good on his promise, and before he can pay Sophia for her catering services. For Goodness Cakes will collapse if Sophia can�t collect what she�s owed. So Sophia once again puts on her sleuthing apron to figure out who iced Ray. A glass of your favorite red or white is the perfect accompaniment to Maymee Bell�s scrumptious Batter Off Dead?with authentic Southern recipes!
