Review: Original Cozy mystery series
Rating: 4 out of 5

Very original plot idea, fun cozy mystery. Sam, the main character, breaks into houses for the government, to clean them when they are left empty for financial reasons. She also bakes and dreams of opening her own bakery shop. Sweet Masterpiece combines these talents with finding a magic box, a new boyfriend, a buried corpse and a hunt for a killer. Meanwhile, her adult daughter decides to move home as well, putting a cramp in Sam's routine. The plot was original and inventive, although Sam was somewhat insensitive to her daughter's plight. Although Sam's finances were tight, she could have been a little more emotionally supportive and concerned of her daughter's needs. Overall, an original story that serves as a solid base for a series.
