Publisher's summary

Virginia "Ginger" Lightley is the owner of Coreyville Coffee Cakes, a popular bakery in East Texas. Customers drive from miles away to visit the little shop for a taste of her original creations. It's a shock to the whole community when a young man drops dead across town after eating one of her famous cakes. The newly appointed police chief promises to solve the case quickly. And Ginger wants to help him - until he accuses one of her employees of murder. She rejects the crime scenario laid out by the young police chief and secretly determines to solve the crime herself.

Standard Cozy with no real thrills

I apologize but this will be a very small review. The reason for that is there isn’t a whole lot to say when you have a standard cozy. A senior baker sleuth, a group of eccentric friends and a drive to solve the case to save an innocent person. That sums up Sweet Ginger Poison. I liked the characters but didn’t like the supporting town characters. This book was very much a story where if the character wasn’t in the main character’s social character they were truly horrible people. I don’t mean that the writer wrote them that way but their actions were terrible so as a listener I was left not really having to root for in the book. So a standard cozy with unlikable characters pretty much sums it up. The narrator was good but some of the voices were very similar.
