Deadly Soiree (A Kate Mackenzie Cozy Mystery Book 3) Kindle Edition

by C T Mitchell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.6 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

"If cupcakes were an art; Kate's would be Van Gogh's"


UK born Kate MacKenzie, women sleuth and the owner of Sugar N’ Spice, is providing cupcake catering for high tech icon, Zuber, in the sleepy village of Bangalow, Australia when the founder's girlfriend, Emma White, drops dead; poisoned after sipping hot apple cider during the toast. Kate and her bakery romance interest Lachlan Fitzgerald are once again thrust together in another tense culinary cozy mystery.

The hotel owner is dumb founded. But his concerns are not for Emma but the reputation of his hotel. He immediately approaches part time amateur sleuth Kate to solve the crime before the police arrive.

“Poisoning is not random. It’s a private, personal affair” is Kate Mackenzie’s credo as she seeks to save her business and the hotel's reputation. But sifting through the myriad of suspects including the founder's uncle who has a dodgy past, a brother with a chip on his shoulder and Kate's very own devious personal assistant — all with secrets to hide — only makes this best cozy mystery series more intriguing.

In the latest bakery detectives cozy mystery series Australian crime fiction author C T Mitchell masterfully creates a feast of twists and turns in this culinary mystery that will keep you guessing right to the end.

    Good characters, light story until, you guessed it.....Murder. Interesting information about cupcakes, hotels, family loyalty and much more.

    Wether it is grisly murder, dark intentions or a lighter versiion written by CT, they are all highly recommended.
