From New York Times bestselling author Denise Swanson comes the third instalment in the cosy crime Chef-to-Go Mysteries series - a must-read for fans of culinary cosy mysteries.
***
In the small town of Normalton, IL, there aren't a lot of opportunities for small business owner Dani Sloan to cater big-ticket events. But that's about to change.
A client named Yvette Joubert is marrying Franklin Whittaker, the richest guy around, and they want Dani to cater their engagement party! The swanky event is the perfect opportunity to put Dani on the map for wealthier clients.
But when a storm hits the party after guests arrive, it becomes clear that more than the dinner is ruined: Yvette is found dead beneath the marquee. Is her death a tragic accident, or a perfectly orchestrated murder?
Then the case gets even juicier - it turns out that Yvette's ex-husband is Spencer Drake, Dani's almost-boyfriend, and the police start circling. Now Dani must follow an unending list of clues to save her business, protect her better half, and catch a criminal. Let's just hope they get their just desserts!
Perfect for fans of culinary cosy murder mysteries by the likes of Joanne Fluke and Kate Carlisle, Winner Cake All continues this exciting small-town series by serving up another deliciously mysterious murder that will keep you guessing until the end!
