Publisher's Synopsis
Two glitzy end-of-year parties. Two mysterious murders. One innocent baker whose yummy treats are the common denominator at the scene of the crimes.
When Jess's bakery is commissioned to cater the treats for two end of year parties on the same day, she's overwhelmed but happy at the opportunity to surprise the guests with her tasty treats and more importantly, improve her bank balance. She reluctantly puts up with the rude behavior of two people in charge of the parties at both organisations. When one person dies, at one of the events, it seems Jess is once again at the right place at the wrong time. However, the subsequent murder of someone else at the other event, at almost the same time, who was eating her treats, sets alarm bells ringing. Could both deaths be linked? Jess is left bewildered and enraged when local detectives suggest that her desserts were the one piece of evidence found at both murder locations. The stakes are further raised when certain characters in both deceased lives are revealed. It seems there is more to both murders than meets the eye. Is there a killer at large disposing of anyone associated with the deceased? Can peace be restored to the small town of Fort Bay? Will Jess pursue the right angles to expose the murderer or become the killer's next victim? If you want to enjoy a light-hearted read, with an amateur female sleuth and a gripping murder mystery with a touch of romance, then you'll love Jessica Nomvete and all the friendly and not-so-friendly characters in Fort Bay. ***No cliffhanger, swearing or graphic scenes!*** Get your preorder copy of A Recipe for Catastrophe to discover how events unfold in this cozy murder mystery.
