Description
Gluten-free baker Toni Holmes may not cook with wheat, but when there’s a criminal on the loose, she’ll do what it takes to figure out who has their finger in the pie…

 

Even though Toni is used to going against the grain by preparing allergy-safe, gluten-free products for her online bakery, Baker’s Treat, opening a storefront in the middle of wheat country Kansas might be biting off more than she can chew. The town is already skeptical of her flour-free ways, but when a local wheat farmer is murdered outside her patisserie, skepticism turns into outright suspicion.

With the help of her eccentric grandmother, her handsome lawyer, and the sexy new widower in town, Toni is determined to find the real criminal before bad publicity and increasingly personal acts of vandalism shut her down. But when another suspect winds up dead, Toni realizes that this half-baked killer isn’t just trying to get her to close shop—he’s trying to make sure that she’s made her last gluten-free cookie…forever.

        May 1, 2013

        Proud of her commitment to making gluten-free creations, Kansas baker Toni Holmes is startled that some local wheat growers find her efforts offensive. When the loudest troublemaker turns up dead in front of Toni's new shop, all suspicion points toward her. But Toni gets help from her hometown allies: her feisty journalist grandmother, her best girlfriend, a hunky lawyer, a gay shopkeeper, and a mysterious cowboy. The amateur sleuth thinks she's making progress until another murder shocks them all and the killer zeroes in on Toni's home. VERDICT Romance novelist Parra (The Bettin' Kind) takes the cake with this cozy romantic suspense title. While formulaically sound, a very clever twist makes small-town Kansas positively sinister. Pair with Virginia Lowell's "Cookie Cutter Shop" series.
