Booklist Review

Struggling actress Piper Donovan moves back in with her parents in New York City. With no immediate prospects for work, she helps out with the family bakery business. When her friend Glenna, star of a daytime soap opera, gets engaged, Piper agrees to create the wedding cake.

Then Glenna's costar, Travis York, dies at a charity auction of cyanide poisoning. There's no shortage of suspects, including Glenna's fiancé, Casey Walden, and her ex-con ex-husband, Philip. But who was the real target?

When Piper learns that Glenna has been receiving threatening letters, she decides to investigate, with the help of her ex-neighbor Jack, an FBI agent.

Clark's latest mystery is the first in a new series, in which all the entries will involve wedding cakes. The intriguing premise will interest fans of foodie crime.

My Thought:  I liked this book.  The plot was believable and the characters are fun.
