Synopsis

From Agatha and Edgar Award nominated author Valerie Burns, influencer-turned-bakery-owner Maddy Montgomery has sold plenty of wedding cakes before, but before she turns one out for her and her fiancé’s wedding, she’ll have to solve a little case of murder first … Aunt Octavia would be so proud! Maddy has turned Baby Cakes Bakery—named for her 250-pound English Mastiff, Baby—into a runaway success, and she’s marrying the love of her life, veterinarian Michael Portman. #DreamWedding! Plus the timing couldn’t be better: the country’s biggest bridal expo has come to New Bison, Michigan, and Maddy has secured a spot for Baby Cakes to showcase their cakes. She’s also entered a contest for an all-expenses-paid wedding extravaganza offered by world-renowned wedding planner Serafina. Unfortunately, supremely nasty Serafina truly takes the cake—she makes the worst bridezilla seem like a shy flower girl. But there’s one thing the wedding planner didn’t plan on—being impaled by one of the skewers Baby Cakes uses on their tiered wedding cakes. While Maid of Honor Sheriff April Johnson rounds up suspects at the expo, Maddy and her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars, and even Baby join forces to unveil a killer hiding in plain sight … before wedding bells start to chime.

Goodreads review by Cozy Reader Lady on May 09, 2025

"Icing on the Murder (Baker Street Mystery #4)" by Valerie Burns has a slightly different story than the past books now that the book bridging mystery of the past three books is solved.

Goodreads review by Jeanie on July 29, 2025

I am a complete Valeries Burns fan and love all of her books, but the Baker Street Mystery series is my favorite, at least for now. That might be because they are the ones I have read most recently, but the books ARE excellent. The 4th and newest book in the series, Icing on the Murder, brings of a......more
