What readers say
This bakery-set series is a clean, quick and light read, and fans enjoy the dessert theme, the dog, the charming neighboring detective and the group of elderly amateur sleuths. Critics call the mysteries thin and predictable, the heroine unrealistic, the writing simplistic, and the proofreading weak. Early reviews of the opening book were often harsh, while readers from the last several years are more mixed to positive and treat it as a fun comfort read. Some say the plotting improves as the series goes on.
Best for: Readers who want a clean, low-stakes bakery cozy and are not bothered by simple plots.
