Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling authors Janel Gradowski and Elizabeth Ashby comes a deliciously deadly surprise!

Maura Monroe came to Danger Cove, Washington, to forget the past and start over. Her newly found spontaneous side thinks buying the Cinnamon Sugar Bakery is the perfect way to both indulge her passion for baking and gain a fresh start. But her practical, business-savvy side isn’t sure it’s the safest move - for her heart or her pocketbook! While her two sides duke it out, Maura decides to rent a short-term cottage to feel out the quaint little town.

Only things are anything but quaint when her search for a temporary home uncovers a dead body instead of the perfect rental. And when fingers start to point at Maura’s handsome new landlord, she finds herself smack in the middle of a small-town mystery. The more Maura digs, the more she realizes that secrets abound in this sleepy coastal burg...and someone is willing to kill to keep them buried. Can Maura get to the truth before the killer strikes again? Or will the next body in Danger Cove be hers?

Tasty cozy!

This was a great little cozy mystery, with cake. Maura is out traveling to remake herself and her life after an unhappy marriage and untimely death of her late husband. Planning on just visiting, she stops in Danger Cove and ends up discovering the life she was searching for may be there, add friendship and murder plus snacks and it makes for a fun listen. The narration was fabulous. Looking forward to more in the series! I received a free review copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sinister Snickerdoodles

Having listened to a couple of the previous books in this series but not the entire series I did feel like I was missing something in this one. Maura is new to town and is drawn to the old bakery (this is where I felt lost, I missed the book where the bakery closed). Of course if its your first book you will never miss that. She quickly makes new friends that are so welcoming. And the property manager, aka her new love interest, seems to be a really good man. I love that Maura is willing to do whatever it takes to clear his name. And the lead investigator seem like a real jerk. I'm sure their is more to that story. I love that I did not see the murderer a mile away! Really nice job on the narration. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

This was so much fun the listen to

This book was such fun, the characters are fantastic, such a great cast of people and the town sounds wonderful, makes me want to move there myself.

The mystery was really well done, I had no idea who the bad guy was until the end.

The romance was very sweet, slow to build, it created a great foundation.

I haven't read any of the other books in this series but I definitely want to now, they'll be going on my wish list.

The narration was well done, the tone of the story came through really well and the character voices were distinct and recognizable.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Sinister Snickerdoodles

Maura is traveling around trying to rediscover herself after the unexpected death of her husband. She ends up in Danger Cove, where she begins to feel she may have found where she’s supposed to be. It may have been fate to find that the recently closed bakery is for sale. While she contemplates what she wants to do (research owning a bakery, finding temporary housing, check out the area, etc) she is pulled into a local mystery.

Sinister Snickerdoodles is a cute cozy mystery with great characters. Angie Hickman is the perfect narrator!

I am going to buy a bakery

This was a great book. Enjoyed the all the characters and the story line was great. I look forward to reading/listening to more of these. The narrator did a great job. I received the book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.

Fun murder mystery

When Maura Monroe's husband passed away, she quit her demanding sales job, and traded in her Lexus for a Jeep. After several months of wandering, she arrives in Danger Cove. When Maura finds a dead body in a rental property she's visiting, she is thrown into a murder mystery.

This story has a lot going for it. I really like Maura because her back story gives her depth and dimension, and she demonstrates care and compassion toward everyone. There are a few plot threads that keep the story interesting - Maura getting settled in town and making friends, starting a business, trying different recipes, and investigations.

I enjoyed this story a lot.
