A Piper Donovan Mystery
by Mary Jane Clark
Piper Donavan is back in this second delicious confection in the New York Times bestselling author's Wedding Cake series following To Have and To Kill, which Library Journal described as "an old-fashioned whodunit set in a modern world that's high on suspense and low on gore. The number of characters with motive for murder keeps you guessing, and the action-packed short chapters keep the story moving."
"In a manner strikingly reminiscent of the author's famous ex-mother-in-law, everything turns out in time for the diminished wedding party to enjoy a cake made from 'the best pumpkin bread they have ever tasted.'" - Kirkus Reviews
"Touches of humor keep the mystery light, the baking subplot keeps it cozy, and there is enough going on with family and Piper's newly developing relationship to keep it real." - Library Journal
"While Piper may make an unlikely detective, she has personality, which is more than can be said of the supporting cast of familiar types..." - Publishers Weekly
"Clark fans will enjoy the short chapters, interconnected plotlines, and multiple points of view, all of which keep the pages turning." - Booklist
