In the first of a delectable new southern-set baking cozy series, Sophia Cummings, pastry chef extraordinaire, must craft the perfect cake for an old friend's wedding while sifting through the suspects in a murder.

Bucolic Rumford, Kentucky, has glowing fields of bluegrass, a fine selection of bourbons, and now a professional pastry chef. Broken-hearted Sophia Cummings has come home from New York City. She's not there a minute before she's charmed into making her high school friend Charlotte's wedding cake. The kitchen at the Rumford Country Club seems perfect until Chef Emile's body is discovered, sprawled near the stove, a cast iron skillet on the floor close by.

With one look at the shiny, new frying pan, Sophia knows it's not Emile's. She offers her knowledge to Sheriff Carter and her talents to Evelyn, the manager, who needs an interim chef. The mood in the country club is grim: Emile's peppery personality had burned members and staff alike. Sophia wonders which one of them burned him?

      Pastry chef Sophia Cummings, the heroine of this diverting, if at times overly busy series debut from the pseudonymous Bell, wowed New York City for a decade with her sweets, but she has slunk home to Rumford, Ky., after catching her lover, chef Noah, with their restaurant’s maître d’. Now high school chum Charlotte Harrington needs a substitute cake for her wedding, four days hence at the Rumford Country Club. When Sophia goes to meet RCC chef Emile and check the kitchen, she finds him on the floor, dead, next to a gleaming new skillet, the apparent murder weapon. She repeatedly tells handsome Sheriff Carter Kincaid that Southern cooks don’t use unseasoned skillets—ever. Carter knocks Sophia’s sleuthing, but her skillet obsession stokes his suspicions about club manager Evelyn Moss. Sophia has to find the real killer to take the heat off Evelyn and ensure that Charlotte’s dream wedding can happen. Cozy fans, especially those who are compulsive early-morning bakers, will look forward to Sophia’s further culinary adventures. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary.
