Super Sleuth Saturday (on Monday)

I know, I know, it's Monday. So why am I doing Super Sleuth Saturday on Monday? Well, one reason is because I didn't get a chance to do it on Sat. and the other is that I came across this great looking cozy and just had to share! So, here goes...

To help boost ratings for her show, Della Carmichael agrees to enter a televised cake competition sponsored by Reggi-Mixx, even though the company’s owner, Regina Davis, is an old college nemesis. When she finds someone drowned in a mixing bowl of batter, Della realizes solving this murder will be no cakewalk.

This sounds like such a fun one! It is also actually the second in the series. The first is Killer Mousse, which sounds delightful as well!

GERALDINE PORTER, a recently retired high school English teacher in a small northern California town, has more time now to spend on her lifelong hobby — building dollhouses and miniature scenes.

You'd think the world of tiny country cottages and cozy room boxes would be trouble-free. Not so for Geraldine and MADDIE, her 10-year-old granddaughter, visiting Lincoln Point for the summer. Even before the doors open to the crafts fair that Geraldine has organized, there's a snag in the program. Geraldine's friend and fellow crafter, LINDA, has failed to appear at her post. Also missing is the last piece of furniture Linda painstakingly built, a miniature Governor Winthrop slant-top desk.

By the time the week is over, Geraldine and Maddie have dealt with robbery, fraud, and murder, all wrapped up in the world of the very small.
