The first book in the Sandy Bay Cozy Mystery series!
Meghan Truman always had a dream to become a Hollywood actress. Hollywood decided she wasn’t good enough. She left Hollywood broken but with a burning desire to start afresh in the Pacific Northwest, pursuing her second dream – opening a bakery. She never expected that the owner of a rival establishment would be found dead and all eyes would be focused on her as the prime suspect.
As the new girl in town with a new bakery store, she’s determined to clear her name and find the murderer; otherwise she’ll have to leave Sandy Bay penniless and pitiful and possibly the murderer’s next victim.
No cliffhanger, swearing or graphic scenes!

My Thoughts:
Well, that was a whirlwind mystery!
I didn't realize this book was as short as it is and it only took me about an hour to read. I know cozy mysteries are quick reads but this is probably the fastest one I've ever read. I'm not complaining because it was super fun :)
Amber Crewes, a new-to-me-author, did a good job writing a likable character in Meghan, Karen, Jack and Lori. I also enjoyed the fact that it was set in a bakery.
I gave this book a 3* rating because I wanted MORE! More of the story. More of the characters. More of Shady Bay. Maybe that means I'll have to check out the rest of the series.
I had downloaded this book from Amazon on my Kindle a while ago and finally got a chance to read it.
Onto the next book :)
I read this book while partaking in 3 readathons:
Journey Through the Bible 3.0 - Cozy Mystery Prompt
Cozy Cottage Readathon - Fresh Baking Prompt
Annetober - Free square
