The Sweet Smell of Disaster
(2022)(The second book in the Yummy Bites Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Ava Zuma
A murdered celebrity. A politician with shady secrets. An audacious baker identified as a prime suspect.
The Governor's Ball. Jess can't believe she's been invited to this prestigious event and have all the famous people in attendance eat her delicious treats.
Plus, she'll finally get to meet a prominent lady who she's admired and followed from afar.
Two things happen at the Governor's Ball that Jess never expected.
First, this well-known lady she's admired is rude and obnoxious and targets her ire at Jess. Second, there is a commotion in the middle of the room where someone has collapsed and is reported dead. Jess's curiosity to see who the dead person is leaves her frightened and shocked when she discovers it's the famous lady.
The Governor's Ball is thrown into a state of pandemonium as people run around like headless chickens.
Jess tries to keep her head amidst the chaos but her night spirals out of control when her colleague and friend is identified as a prime suspect and is taken away for questioning.
Jess knows her friend didn't do it but she also knows many people saw her friend having an altercation with the deceased.
Will Jess outwit a killer who appears to be two steps ahead of the law and bring them to justice?
Or will she watch more people die while her friend is made a scapegoat for all the diabolical acts?
If you want to enjoy a light-hearted read, with an amateur female sleuth and a gripping murder mystery with a touch of romance, then you'll love Jessica Nomvete and all the friendly and not-so-friendly characters in Fort Bay.
No cliffhanger, swearing or graphic scenes!
