Book Review: Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder by Valerie Burns

Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder
by Valerie Burns (Burns)

The first in the new Baker Street Mystery series, this is a culinary-themed cozy mystery. Maddy Montgomery inherited her aunt’s bakery, large house, and 250-pound English Mastiff, all in a small town in Michigan. There is a clause for her to keep all three, though, and that’s to keep the bakery running and live in the house for at least a year. Before her second day in town has come to a close, there is a murder in the bakery, and Maddy has to work with her new neighbors and friends to clear her own name. A marketing genius but baker newbie, Maddy entertains the reader while also bringing business to the bakery with her series of trending hashtags.
