Till Death Do Us Tart
Description
Torte—the small-town bakeshop no one can resist—is hosting a midsummer night’s wedding . . . where merry-making and murder are served up in equal measure. Till Death Do Us Tart is Ellie Alexander's eighth delectable novel in the Bakeshop mystery series.
Jules Capshaw has too much on her plate—and she’s feeling the pinch: the whole town of Ashland, Oregon, is in on the surprise Elizabethan-themed wedding she’s planning for her mom and soon-to-be stepdad. But is her secret scheme half-baked? She’s hiding racks overflowing with sweet treats while Torte is topsy-turvy with a major remodel and the return of Jules’s estranged husband, Carlos. And until now, Jules had no clue about the bitter family feud that has her friend Lance frazzled and suspicious. But when a party crasher takes someone out with a serving of poisoned wine and Jules discovers the deadly cup was intended for her, it’s time to turn the tables on a killer.
My Review
This is the first book I have read in this series. What a sweet and fun read. This sure will not be the last time that I read a book in this series. In fact, I want to go back at the beginning and get more familiar with these characters. Although, every woman needs a "Lance" in their lives. He is the best guy pal that women could have. He is not only not afraid to get his hands dirty when it comes to solving a murder but he also brings the flair and laughs. Jules is not to be counted out. She may not have had the stomach like Lance but she was willing to go along.
Actually, it was really Lance and Jules that played a huge part in helping to solve the case. Jules did also contribute some very yummy treats. I do want to touch on the other characters; they were interesting. They didn't just play minor roles in the story. Bonus: There are several recipes in the back of this book that will have you wanting to make them all.
