A new Cupcake Bakery Mystery from New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay is icing on the cupcake! After a cupcake-flinging fiasco at a photo shoot for a local magazine, Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura agree to make amends by hosting a weeklong corporate boot camp at Fairy Tale Cupcakes. The idea is the brainchild of billionaire Ian Hannigan, new owner of SWS (Southwest Style), a lifestyle magazine that chronicles the lives of Scottsdale’s rich and famous. He’s assigned his staff to a team-building week of making cupcakes for charity.
It’s clear that the staff would rather be doing just about anything other than frosting baked goods. But when the magazine’s creative director is found murdered outside the bakery, Mel and Angie have a new team-building exercise—find the killer before their business goes AWOL.

Hilarious! Costumed, styled, and made-up for a photo shoot for SWS Magazine at great expense, Melanie and Angie sacrificed their comfort for a great advertisement for Fairy Tale Cupcakes. The perfect shot could never be taken and never would because their arch enemy provoked them into a cupcake slinging match that had me laughing out loud! Tate, their partner and backer, and the magazine’s owner were not amused. In order to make amends, they agreed to lead a cupcake boot camp to make cupcakes for charity and team build for Southwest Magazine. The magazine staff has issues, and there are tensions, but Mel is optimistic until she finds one of the writers dead the next morning. While the situation may be dire, especially when Tate disappears, Jenn McKinlay injects humor throughout the story. With its twists and surprise turns, that includes Angie and Joe splitting up, this Cupcake Mystery is the best yet. It certainly leaves you wanting to know what happens in the next novel!

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Fairy Tale Cupcakes is going to be featured in Southwest Style Magazine, that is if they can survive the photo shoot and the week long cupcake boot camp for the employees of the magazine. The new owner of SWS, Ian Hannigan, thinks baking cupcakes for charity is the perfect team building exercise for his staff. It quickly becomes clear that the staff is not thrilled with this idea. When a features editor is found murdered outside the bakery Mel and Angie have a team building exercise all their own. The need to catch a killer before anyone else gets frosted.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
I took a great big bite out of this delicious mystery and loved every minute of it.
I love these characters and a couple of them had major developments in their lives in this installment of this wonderful series. Tate makes some huge decisions and Marty starts a blog that leads to something very unexpected. Mel is frustrated with herself, is she over thinking everything?
Then of course there is that darn dead body. The staff of Southwest Style is quite a unique group and they are all on the suspect list. They all seem to be hiding something.
Jenn McKinlay has baked up another delectable mystery filled with humor, romance and of course CUPCAKES!!!!
Do yourself a favor and start by baking up some of the cupcake recipes found in the back of the book and then sit back enjoy them along with this fantastic cozy.
Happy Reading!
