I've never read a work by Mary Jane Clark before, so I chose this short story to start. I now know this is book 1.5 in a popular series she has written and, as I liked this one, I will have to hunt down book 1 to start at the beginning! This book (as is, I'm assuming, the series) is based around a close-knit family: mom, who owns her dream bakery/cake making business; dad, a retired police officer; son, married to daughter-in-law whose career of choice is spending his money; daughter's friend, who would like to be more than; the family dog; and the very likeable tenants who live upstairs from the shop. Throw in a little family drama, a little mystery solving and you've got yourself some nice, kick-back-and-relax reading.
