Muffin But the Truth by Ellie Alexander

Muffin But the Truth (A Bakeshop Mystery, #16)Muffin But the Truth by Ellie Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, this book really keeps you guessing. Jules, Carlos and the Torte team go on an outbound adventure for a group that is supposed to be team building but they end up sabotaging each other instead. I enjoyed all the cool ideas Ellie came up with to give the team a cool experience. Even Lance got in the action with some spooky stories. I loved that the mystery was hard to figure out since that is the best part of a whodunit.

Ellie never disappoints with her stories. This one is a real page turner and keeps you up all night.

Death by Iced Coffee by Alex Erickson

Death by Iced Coffee (A Bookstore Cafe Mystery Book 11)Death by Iced Coffee by Alex Erickson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Krissy Hancock is participating in a marathon in the heat of summer when one of the contestants falls over and is found deceased. Krissy herself spends much of the book in a bit of a heat-infused stupor due to heat exhaustion. During the event she sees Rita's boyfriend run off during the marathon with another woman and begins investigating at first to find out what that man might have been up to since he told Rita he was out of town. This puts a bit of distance between Krissy and Rita since the investigation makes her keep secrets from Rita.

Definitely a great story with a lot of suspense and the whodunit is well-crafted and compelling. Love this series a lot and wish they could get Krissy's author dad a bit more involved in the action. Wouldn't that be fun?
