Jenn McKinlay's Death by the Dozen
The third book in this series about a cupcake bakery owner who is forever finding herself involved with murders is pretty good, actually, if you can pretend the first two didn't exist and that this character has gotten entangled with her third murder in a year, b/c honestly, how often do bakers deal with dead bodies? And the body here doesn't turn up till almost a third of the way through, since McKinlay is busy building up the characters and plot--and honestly, the characters are way more interesting than the mystery (which is pretty easy to figure out). These books are the fluffiest of fluffy cozy mysteries, but damn if I'm not a sucker for cupcakes. B/B+.
