Good series
I’m really enjoying this new series. The characters are great, the story is well written. I didn’t figure out who committed the crime until the author revealed it. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.
Crepes and Crimes is more suspenseful that the first book. Coco always seems to find a way into a murder investigation. The adventure of the investigation is something that I am looking forward to reading with every books.

Murder Disrupts The Bakery
This cozy mystery is the second of a series. This time, a murder threatens the future of the bakery. The story has a good but simple plot. While it is not predictable, It is also not a brain drainer. I enjoyed it and the series seems to be sweet fun and mystery. I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
Maribelle and Jordan chose Coco to handling the dessert catering for the engagement party. But her two helpers can’t help with preparations because Masie has a severe cold and Scooter’s mom has the same thing and needs him to stay with her to help. So she is left to cater the entire party herself! Of course, the icing on the cake is not cooperating – but she can handle this. Then a drunk groomsman pushed into the kitchen wanting a bottle of champagne for himself. He told him he could not be back in the kitchen and he got belligerent, yelling that her competitor, Sam, was right and she thought herself better than others. He had left the kitchen door open and all the guests were staring. Pushing him out, she went back to icing the cake when the dining area alarms went off and the sprinklers poured water over the food was set out. She ran to the dining area and closed lids over the food. To save the day, she would serve the cake. But as she returned to the kitchen, the cart wouldn’t move! Raising the covering on the lower part of the cart, Coco found Derrick, the drunk from earlier, a bottle of champagne clutched to his chest!
With her reputation already in jeopardy as the one who finds bodies, it is crucial that she find out who did it before the wedding ends up being cancelled. Once again, there are many suspects, including the bride and groom! Detective Logan Owensby tries to stop Coco from investigating, but she ignores him and puts everyone’s life in danger. The killer may be coming after her next!
This was another good cozy mystery. The story line is well-paced, and all of the various catastrophes made me think of sabotage! Grab your copy and have fun solving the mystery with Coco!

What a twisted and convoluted series of events! Almost had our intrepid detective/baker stumped! I had a whole lot of fun reading about this mystery and following the process by which Coco solved the crime! Loved it!
Coco might be getting better at crime solving, but it could be hurting her bottom line
A local restauranteur gives her a lot of flack. Again being the one to find a body is not helping with a reputation as a death baker
With her friends and some loyal clients, Coco might be in for a rough go, but together they should be able to solve the crimes, survive the bad guys and try to stay in business
