Overview

Following in her mother Daisy's footsteps, Jazzi Swanson has transformed her rural New York bookshop and tea bar, Tomes & Tea, into a must-stop destination in the lakeside resort town of Belltower Landing, New York, where, in addition to her talent for tea, Jazzi has shown a skill for sleuthing when trouble is brewing . . . The Gentleman's Bake-off is not only good for the town's tourism, it's bound to boost business at Tomes & Tea. The celebrity judges of the contest--chefs, bakers, restauranteurs--will all be signing their cookbooks at Jazzi's shop. But with all the big personalities and inflated egos, she's starting to wonder if there are--as the saying goes--too many cooks. The competition is far from killer, with mostly residents and neighbors vying for bragging rights. But when local photographer Finn Yarrow takes first place, someone commits a most ungentlemanly act. Jazzi's partner Dawn finds the man bludgeoned next to his prizewinning Black Forest Cake. Between the judges and the contestants, the bookshop shop owner soon finds herself steeped in suspects as she tries to solve the crime. Was the murder connected to the bake-off--or did the shutterbug perhaps photograph something he shouldn't have? Either way, Jazzi is determined to find a killer who's trying to have their cake and eat it too . . .
