Publisher's Synopsis
Cupcake food truck owner Isabel Addington has plenty on her plate without adding a side of murder.
She's trying to get a vendor spot in Lakeshore's completely booked summer festivals. She's navigating her new-and strange-relationship with the Cartwright/Holmes family. And she's fighting back against the fears from her past that keep trying to block her from a good future. When she finally lands a coveted spot at the annual sandcastle-building competition, she thinks her troubles are finally behind her. Until one of the teams digs up a body right in front of Isabel's food truck. And she knows the dead man. Now to keep herself and her new friends out of danger, Isabel has to find the real killer before he or she gets away...or ruins Isabel's business and life. If you love cozy mysteries with found family, amateur sleuths, and food, then you'll love this sweet cozy mystery. Dead Velvet Cake is the second book in Emily James' Cupcake Truck Mysteries. Cupcake recipe included! This book is a clean mystery and contains no swearing, gore, or steamy bedroom scenes. While the series is best enjoyed in order, each book is a complete mystery on its own.
