Lexy planned to meet her next door neighbor, but not in the middle of the night while she was attired in her cupcake pajamas and wearing no makeup while she was cleaning up after her dog, Sprinkles. The detective thought she was awfully cute, until he saw her at her bakery the next day, when he had to ask her questions about her late boyfriend, Kevin. Then detective Jack thought the petite Lexy was a stunner, filled out in all the right places and wearing makeup that accentuated her beautiful green eyes.Jack couldn't imagine Lexy being a murderess, but the facts were that Kevin was found dead face down in a box of her cupcake tops. Those bakery treats had been poisoned, so the bakery had to be shut down until all the ingredients could be analyses for poisons. Lexy really couldn't afford to be closed, so she and her best friend, Cassie decided to do some investigating of their own. Lexy also got her grandmother and some of her friends in on the act.Throughout the investigation, Jack is doing his best to prove Lexy innocent, because he is so drawn to her. She too, feels the chemistry, but then gets the idea he has a girlfriend, so she quickly withdraws from him.Although there is nothing funny about murder or blackmail, there are laughs a plenty in this wonderful cozy. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!
