A Teeny Bit of Trouble
**Starred Review--Library Journal**"West's second mystery rises to the occasion by following a surefire recipe for adventure: a dash of quirky heroine, a pinch of deadly secrets, and a lovely dollop of sweet romance, all carefully folded into a story of clever twists, turns, and red herrings.""In West's madcap second novel featuring Charleston, S.C., baker Teeny Templeton (after 2011's Gone with a Handsomer Man) the plot continues to thicken as West tosses one red herring after another into an already deliciously roiling stew of blind alleys." --Publishers WeeklyKirkus Reviews--"Reluctant sleuth Teeny Templeton is finding that her tiny hometown of Bonaventure is a hotbed not only of petty gossip but murderous machinations...Snarky repartee, and the continuing conceit of Teeny's recipes for disaster, keep the comedy afloat."Praise for Michael Lee West:“Full of dramatic action, clever red herrings, and humorous moments, this debut mystery by a well-regarded novelist will please any reader but particularly fans of Jennifer Crusie or Mary Kay Andrews.” —Library Journal (starred review) “Gone with a Handsomer Man is fun, funny, and fabulous!”—Janet Evanovich“Fluffy as a buttermilk biscuit...charming...” —People“Michael Lee West fans, rejoice! Gone with a Handsomer Man has a fresh, funny, and delightfully flawed heroine that you’ll fall in love with from the get-go.

However you slice it, Gone with a Handsomer Man is as addictive as red velvet cake.” —Harley Jane Kozak, Agatha, Anthony, Macavity Award-winning author of Dating Dead Men
