What readers say
When a bridezilla client turns up dead, cupcake baker Mel becomes the prime suspect, and readers like the friendship between Mel, Angie and Tate, the banter, red herrings and recipes. Critics say the killer is easy to guess, Mel can be judgmental, the love triangle distracts and some descriptions of characters' bodies feel unkind. Many readers say it's a light, fun start and that the series finds its footing as it goes.
