My Review:
Black
Forest Cake Murder is the second book in the Sinclair Sisters Bakery
Mystery series by Karen McSpade. It is the first book I’ve read in the
series, although I knew it; I didn’t even realize it when I was
reading it.
I was drawn into the story from the beginning.
I like the Sinclair Sisters, Holly, Noelle, and Joy, and I like that
the story is told from all three sisters' points of view. Holly,
Noelle, and Joy run a bakery with their father.
They are
preparing for a food critic to visit their bakery. The
food critic seemed to be somewhere else during the review, which made
her seem like she might not be a decent person. However, I believe
she was preoccupied with troubling thoughts.
Later, the
food critic is found dead in an alley. The Sinclair sisters’ dad
becomes the prime suspect in the case, as he didn’t have an alibi.
The sisters set out to prove their father’s innocence, as they knew
their dad did not kill that woman.
I enjoyed getting to
know the sisters and hearing about their lives. The mystery and suspense kept
me on the edge of my seat. I wanted to know what was happening, who killed the
food critic, and why.
I can’t wait to see what happens
after Black Forest Cake Murder. I look forward to the next book in
the Sinclair Sisters Bakery Mystery series. I wonder what awaits the
Sinclair Sisters!
Not only that, but I highly recommend
Black Forest Cake Murder to all murder mystery fans! Grab a copy of
