A sucker for mysteries, I embarked upon this one with a real curiosity for how a cupcake could be a killer.  In the early part of the novel, the author made me aware that the heroine is a baker known far and wide for her cupcakes.  (Some of the names of the cupcakes are tantalizing!)  The reader is also made aware of the fact that everyone in the town who was anyone came by that shop for cupcakes, seemingly every day.  We are also make aware that the baker herself is addicted to high heels and that even though she is on her feet all day, she wears beautiful, expensive high heels daily to work.  This is something that the town knows and anticipates every day.  BUT. . .we are quickly made aware that there has been a murder in this quiet little town.  To make it truly meaningful, we learn that the victim was poisoned and there was a box of our little bakers well-known cupcakes at the scene.  Now, draw your own conclusions.  Police follow, the bakery is inspected.  The cute, little baker is under suspicion and therein lies the plot.  As it evolves, the whole town becomes involved in the investigation with a surprising result.  A fun read.
