Description:
For Matron of Honor Hayley Powell, catching a half-baked poisoner before her friend's wedding will be icing on the cake . . .
Liddy Crawford, best friend of food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell, is getting married. The wedding is the talk of the town in Bar Harbor, Maine, including snide gossip about the age gap between the bride and her groom, local lawyer Sonny Lipton. But the cruelty of the comments is nothing compared to the nasty wedding cake baker, Liddy's quarrelsome cousin Lisa.
So when the belligerent baker is found facedown in a three-tier cake, the victim of a poisoned slice, there are more suspects in town than names on the guest list. With Sonny getting cold feet, Liddy getting hot under the frilly collar of her wedding gown, and a killer possibly crashing the ceremony, Hayley vows to solve the crime before her best friend walks down the aisle . . .
Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen!
My Review:
This book follows Hayley Powell as she is helping her friend Liddy with her wedding preparations for her upcoming wedding to Sonny Lipton. There seems to be so many issues with the simple wedding. When Liddy let's her cousin make her wedding cake which leads to disaster.
When Liddy's cousin winds up dead and the cake she made to Liddy's exact description Liddy has to switch gears to find a new cake and a new baker. So who killed Lisa Liddy's cousin and why? Was it someone connected to Lisa's past or someone connected to Liddy's wedding?
Sonny is also acting very strange. He keeps failing to keep appointments with Liddy for the wedding. What is going on with Sonny and why is he acting so strange?
This book was crazy with so much going on. It felt like needing notecards to keep up with it. With the Liddy drama and Sonny's disappearance act you felt like something was definitely up and the truth was such a surprise. I really enjoyed the end!
