Killer cupcakes?
Seems improbable to Lina, but when an attractive detective snaps cuffs on her and accuses her of witchy crimes she's forced to reconsider.
The murder weapon? A cupcake topper sold in Lina's shop, Sticky, Tricky Treats.
The method? A killing curse.
The curse's origin? Lina…sort of.
Except Lina hadn't a clue that she was a witch, and certainly didn't know she'd accidentally cursed some of her confections.
She's got to catch the killer who used her magic to murder or possibly face a conviction as an accessory.
Now, if only the wizard detective assigned to the case weren't such a distraction.
Cutthroat Cupcakes is a magical witch culinary cozy with a touch of romance, the first of three books in the Cursed Candy Mysteries series!
#1: Cutthroat Cupcakes
#2: Twisted Treats
#3: Fatal Fudge
It was a Monday. Monday was the day grandma got her medicine. She took some pill that some white-coated doctor told us would keep her alive, if only for a little while. I walked to the pharmacy a couple of blocks away through the rain. Careful to avoid the divots and dips in the beat-up sidewalk where puddles were beginning to form.
There’s an old store that sells rugs and carpets between Grandma’s and the pharmacy. I wove through a small crowd of disappointed people exiting the store, beneath the broken neon red sign that read Jackson pet instead of Jackson Carpet, leading would-be pet owners astray. The red luminescent glow of the misnomer blurred on its edges through the drizzle and fog.
One customer had brought her dog along with her. A young, well dressed and well-accessorized woman was knocking in quick bursts on the wood-framed glass door of the shop. Seemingly not understanding the miscommunication the sign had presented, even after seeing a stockpile of rolled-up rugs waiting in the store beyond. Her white-knuckle fist gripped a long, fuzzy velvet leash that strangled a fat, wrinkly old Rottweiler. The ancient beast struggling to keep up, letting itself be dragged behind along the wet pavement like a sack of old potatoes.
Christmas Time is here...
...and it’s back to Sweetwater to celebrate the holiday with the Martin family, and what’s left of the Colliers.
This time, Savannah and Rafe have their infant daughter with them, and everyone’s cooing over the new addition. But Carrie isn’t the only thing that’s changed. Several other people have news, and some of the directions things are going might alter the course of several lives, including Rafe’s and Savannah’s, for the foreseeable future.
Join the Martins and the Colliers, with their friends and relatives, for another Christmas in the Martin Mansion in Sweetwater!
The end is near.
The end of Savannah’s pregnancy, that is. Less than a month to go, and she’ll be the mother of what will surely be the most adorable baby boy or baby girl in the world.
But before that, there’s Thanksgiving with the Martins to get through. Not to mention a little spot of murder at the group home where Mrs. Jenkins, Savannah’s grandmother-in-law, lives.
A spot of murder that leaves Mrs. Jenkins covered in blood, and with no memory of who else might have hurt night nurse Julia Poole.
With Savannah’s friend, homicide detective Tamara Grimaldi, investigating, and Savannah’s husband Rafe insisting that the detective can’t find out about Mrs. Jenkins’s involvement, in case she doesn’t share his rock-solid belief that Mrs. Jenkins would never kill anyone, Savannah’s caught between a rock and a hard place.
Can she help Mrs. Jenkins figure out the truth before Detective Grimaldi throws them both in prison… or before the real murderer comes back to finish the job?

Suomi 1938: murhataanko Kekkonen, kaapataanko valta?
Elokuussa 1938 neuvostokapteeni Helander odottaa teloitusta luostarin pihalla Espanjassa. Komennuskunnan johtajan silmissä on tuttu valkoinen hehku, jonka Helander on nähnyt ennenkin. Pian luoti kaataa hänet joukkohautaan.
Suomessa sisäministeri Kekkonen tulee Hämeenlinnan torille vastaanottamaan itsenäisyyspäivän juhlaparaatia, mutta pinnan alla kuohuu. Helanderin veli Uljas on saanut potkut asemapäällikön virasta ja hautoo kostoa Kekkoselle. Pääkaupunkilehden toimittaja Ossi Koho ja valokuvaaja Sanna Rytkönen tutkivat oluttehtailijan pojan murhaa. Valpon ylietsivä Mujunen etsii saksalaisen asekauppiaan yksityissihteeriä ja salaisia papereita. Pankinjohtaja Vähämäen uusi autonkuljettaja taas näyttää kummallisen tutulta. Hän hakee Espanjassa kadottamaansa valkohehkuista ryöstösaalista, yrittää palata menneeseen ja hautoo kostoa isänsä murhaajalle.
Tapani Baggelle tyypillinen musta huumori ja nerokkaat juonenkäänteet kohtaavat etsivä Mujusen tutkimuksia seurailevan historiallisen dekkarisarjan ensimmäisessä osassa.

This is the eighth book in the Cottonwood Springs Cozy Mystery Series by a two-time USA Today Bestselling Author.
March 11, 2004. The Madrid train bombings kill 193 innocent civilians.
What the terrorists didn’t know was on that fateful day they also succeeded in creating their worst nightmare.
No one knew who he was, what he looked like, where he came from, norwho he worked for. He was a sniper who could take a target out from eight-hundred yards to a mile. He could kill with a long gun, short gun, or no gun. He was lethal with edged weapons, explosives, poisons, or no weapon at all. Targets could be executed from afar or die with his breath in their faces.
Among his enemies he has many names: El Gato, the cat, Alshaytan, the Devil in Arabic, the Ghost, and many others.
His real name is Rex Dalton. He has no friends. He has no family. He has no girl. He has only one motto; don’t hate the terrorists. Instead kill them, so they can’t kill again.
A tragic shooting occurs in Alexandria, Virginia, yielding three fatalities, including a United States Senator. A senior intelligence officer fears the worst -that the crime may have been organized by his own subordinate agent. Bruce Highland is quietly and discreetly pulled in to track down the rogue agent, James Malone, and sort out a tangled web of lies and deception, which traces back to a private military contractor in Afghanistan.
"Champagne bubbly and engaging throughout...a jaunty, jolly good listen" raves Publishers Weekly about Larkin's narration of The Secret Adversary. Now the award-winning narrator is back with another hugely popular Agatha Christie classic, The Man in the Brown Suit.
Pretty, young Anne is present on the platform at Hyde Park Corner when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electrocuted on the rails.The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied. After all, who was the man in the brown suit?
Just who is the new teaching assistant Suzette Riddle, and why is it that she seems so familiar, to some of the staff? Then nurse Courtney Seabrook goes missing, and the past is back with a vengeance. Her American husband Thomas is frantic with worry. Why has he heard nothing? Will Courtney be found safe and well, or will the curse of the Hunters strike again? Everything the Hunters thought they knew about their own history, is suddenly called into question.
Two of the greatest novels of the 19th Century are collected together in this double-feature by master storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson!
First, the swashbuckling epic tale of high-seas adventure 'Treasure Island.' When young Jim Hawkins discovers a map to the legendary pirate Captain Flint's buried treasure, he embarks on an ocean voyage to retrieve it with the help of Squire Trelawney, Doctor Livesey and the mischievous sea-cook Long John Silver. When the shipmates on board their vessel are revealed to be pirates themselves, it is up to Jim to rescue the day and take down the conspirators...headed up by Silver himself!
Then, the legendary gothic tale of mayhem and murder, 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.' Mild-mannered lawyer G.J. Utterson learns of a misshapen stranger - a Mr. Hyde - who seems to have his dear friend Dr. Henry Jekyll in his thrall. Attempting to discover the secret of this strange association, Utterson is drawn into a mystery that will lead to deception, an exploration of the duality of man and, ultimately, murder.
Enjoy these two unabridged novels of adventure and horror by legendary storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson.
