LET'S GET COZY! DARK CHOCOLATE DEMISE: A PREVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

GIVEAWAY ENDED
DARK CHOCOLATE DEMISE
A Cupcake Bakery Mystery
BY JENN McKINLAY

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The New York Times bestselling Cupcake Bakery Mysteries bake up sweet surprises, but as the series continues, Mel and Angie are in for a fresh batch of trouble…

Scottsdale, Arizona, may not be the liveliest place on earth, but it’s never been as dead as this. Hundreds of fans have gathered together for the first annual Old Town Zombie Walk, and Mel, Angie, and the Fairy Tale Cupcake crew are donning their best undead attire to sell some horror-themed desserts to the hungry hordes.

But the fun turns to fright when Mel finds a real dead body in a prop casket outside of the bakery’s truck—and the corpse looks alarmingly like a zombie of their own. Knowing that Joe, Angie’s brother and Mel’s former flame, has been working on a dangerous mob case, Mel worries that the murder is a hit gone wrong and that someone near and dear was the real target. To keep any of her friends from winding up six feet under, Mel will do whatever it takes to find a killer—no matter how scary things get…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Pseudonym for Lucy Lawrence.
Pseudonym: Josie Belle.

Jenn McKinlay is what is known as a dessert-freakosaurus. She has been known to eat leftover birthday cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the frozen top tier of her wedding cake didn’t stand a chance of seeing its first anniversary. Luckily, her husband is more of a salt guy. Since the arrival of the hooligans (her sons), she has honed her culinary skills to include cupcakes and has baked and frosted cupcakes into the shape of cats, mice and outerspace aliens to name just a few. Writing a mystery series based upon one of her favorite food groups (cupcakes) is as enjoyable as licking the beater and she can’t wait to whip up the next one. She is the author of another mystery series under the name Lucy Lawrence and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her musician husband Chris, their two sons, two cats, one dog and one fish.

I love reading the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries though I found myself carving cupcakes. :)
Dark Chocolate Demise sounds exciting with a body that looks likes a zombie of their own. I can't wait to read it.

The cupcakes on the cover look so tasty. Who could pass up a story about a body that looks like a zombie in a prop grave.
