Bits and Pieces

When Mustang Ridge's son goes off to middle school, all she wants to do is drown her anxiety with a gallon of coffee and a dozen red velvet cupcakes. Unfortunately, someone has bought all of the cupcakes at Lakeside Cupcakes except for the nasty vegan ones. She may be desperate, but she's not that desperate. As she walks back to her car, something large falls from the sky and crashes onto the roof of her car.

It's a body.

It seems like she's always stumbling over bodies, but now they're falling from the sky?

The body currently acting as her new hood ornament turns out to be Marty Smith, the man everyone hates ... especially, Jill, the owner of Lakeside Cupcakes. After she's arrested for his murder, she offers Mustang a lifetime supply of free cupcakes if she finds out who really killed Marty.

Mustang and the girls are on the case. They start questioning suspects and have a hard to finding anyone who doesn't want Marty dead.

After diving into Marty's life, Mustang is convinced that whoever killed him did the world a favor. But a lifetime of free cupcakes is a lifetime of free cupcakes so she keeps investigating.

What do a Voodoo Priestess, a possible serial killer with a Barbie fetish, and the island of Bonaire have in common? Mustang must figure it out before Marty's killer finds her.
