A Smoking Bun
A Smoking Bun: A Bakeshop Mystery | Ellie Alexander
9 posts | 5 read
Another delicious installment in the Bakeshop Series set in Ashland, OR! The mountains are calling in Ashland, Oregon, where pastry chef turned amateur sleuth, Jules Capshaw, is baking up a bevy of spiced curry buns and chai cookies for a moonlit snowshoe tour. Ramiros family is visiting from Spain and Jules cant wait to take them up to her beloved Mount A with its charming and rustic lodge, backcountry trails, and star-filled skies that stretch for miles. Their winter wonderland adventure is nothing short of magical and the merry party opts to return to the slope the next day for the Downhill Dummy. The annual competition is a favorite amongst snow lovers. Contestants strap makeshift dummies to skis and send them hurling down a death-defying ski jump in hopes of catching big air. The team at Torte is in the mix this year with their own replica of a tiered cake and a baker who closely resembles their fearless leader. Its a fun and festive atmosphere as dummies sail past the crowd to huge cheers and applause. Until one of the dummies takes a deadly detour and lands atop Fitz Baskin. Fitz is a guide on the mountain and his icy dealings have made for frosty relationships with everyone he encounters. Suddenly there are more suspects than snowdrifts as Jules dives into the investigation. She unearths a web of secrets and motives that threaten to shake the rustic mountain lodge to its core. Can she catch the killer before they strike again, or will the truth be buried forever under fluffy layers of fresh snow?

Much of this cozy foodie mystery series book takes place at Mount A in Ashland, OR so that counts as a #SkiResort

A Smoking Bun was a captivating cozy mystery filled with characters that feel more like old friends with each book in this series.

Here‘s my review for a book I just DNF‘d. I‘m going to count this book for #bookspinbingo but it will count as a DNF.

Release date: 2/20/24

I started this book. This is another Netgalley book I have to read. I‘m going to DNF this book. I‘m not connecting with the characters and I can‘t get into the story. I also haven‘t read the other books in the series so that‘s probably why I can‘t connect with the characters but either way, I don‘t think this book is for me.

Thank you to Sara at St. Martins Press who always so kindly sets me up with #ARCs from this favorite cozy series. I can‘t believe we are at book 18 in the Bakeshop Mystery series! This one will be out in Feb 2024 & takes place between the Christmas & New Year‘s holidays with Ramiro‘s family visiting from Spain & lots of festivities on Mount A in Ashland. There‘s the murder of a shady-acting tour guide ⬇️

DebinHawaii …for Jules to help solve & of course, lots of Torte‘s tasty treats. That‘s the only downside to the ARCs, the recipes aren‘t aren‘t in them yet & both the stuffed curry buns & chai cookies sounded amazing.🤤😋 Never read this series on an empty stomach! (edited) 13mo
