So, ready for change and up for a challenge, she has decided to relocate to the beautiful coastal town of Swaddle, California to pursue her lifelong dream of opening her very own bakery! And, as a self-professed “Queen of Cakes”, she can’t wait to show the world what she can do! Sadly, not everyone shares her enthusiasm. While the majority of the locals are thrilled with her new Comfort Cakes Bake Shop, Rachel soon learns that the owner of a local café is determined to ruin her. Of course, business is business, and a bit of competition may even make things interesting! But when Rachel finds a dead body in her kitchen just before the Grand Opening and she is accused of the murder, she quickly realizes that this is more than a little friendly rivalry! Book 2, Guilt & Galaxy Cake: Rachel’s newest assignment is to create an enticing galaxy cake to celebrate the latest release from popular science fiction author, Stan Stickman. But when the legendary scribe is killed in a manner eerily reminiscent of a murder found in his own book, Rachel finds herself sucked into a vortex of mystery & deceit from which she seems unable to escape. Now, if she hopes to get out with her own life intact, she must figure out who is to blame for the deadly deed. And with a cast of suspects including an astronaut-turned-senator, an obsessed fan and even her own ex-boyfriend, she is in for a wild ride! Book 3, Strangulation & Strawberry Cake: When Rachel is hired to bake a special strawberry cake for Sheriff Scott’s grandmother’s 90th birthday, she works extra hard to make it as perfect as possible. After all, the sharp-eyed millionaire is known to have a hot temper & a short fuse. But, despite all of her hard work, there’s no way Rachel could have prevented this party from going awry. Not when someone is murdered right before dinner! Grandma Mallory’s accountant is the victim. It seems he’d learned something that someone wished to keep secret and, with nobody at the party other than members of the family, one of them must be the killer. Unless, that is, it’s the ghost in the attic… Book 4, Bodies & Bundt Cake: How exciting! Rachel is off to spend a weekend serving as a judge for a baking contest! She’s ready to fill her belly with delicious desserts and clear her mind of everything to do with work. But there’s just one problem… Someone has just been murdered, and one of the contestants just may be the killer! And there’s reason to believe that one of Rachel’s closest friends may be next on the criminal’s list! Now, all thoughts of selecting the most talented baker have been replaced by trying to catch the culprit before he or she strikes again! And the clock is ticking… Book 5, Weddings & Wine Cake: Rachel wants nothing more than for her father to be happy. So, when he announces his plans to remarry, in theory, she should be happy for him. But that’s not going to happen. After all, his bride-to-be is young enough to be his daughter! And that does not sit well with Rachel. More than just a bit skeptical and uneasy, she is strongly considering whether or not she will even attend the wedding. But when Scott makes a strong case for supporting her father on his big day, she eventually relents. Soon enough, she learns that she’s not the only one who opposes this union. In fact, the two families seem ready to go to war over it! And one member, in particular, may even resort to murder to get their way...

Imaginative

Wonderful series

I enjoyed the story. The virtual voice was odd at times and messed up in funny ways. I’ve recommended this series to a few people and they are currently enjoying it.

Loved All of the Books!

I loved every book included in the collection. The story lines were captivating and interesting. Can’t read to read more!

Enjoyable

These mysteries were well written and enjoyable. I really got into all of these books.

Great Stories

Stories have great twisty plots. Loved the characters. Glad the recipes were included. Computer voice not bad but has more mispronounced words including two in one recipe.

Love the stories, not the AI

The stories are great. Exactly what I want from a cozy mystery. The AI voice kind of ruins it though. It makes it hard to keep track of who is speaking. Words are mispronounced (or said the wrong version of the same word like live/live and read/read). The lack of emotion really makes you miss a lot of what is actually being said. But it did well enough that I could manage to get through it. I hope it gets redone with a human narrator though. I would listen to the whole series over again just for that!

If I could give the reader 0 stars I would

The AI voice had zero emotion. Difficult to understand when different characters are speaking. I could not make it through one book. What I understood plot wise was pretty good.

Great listen

Loved the story line loved the stories excited about the cake recipe s virtual voice although better than some still distracted from the story

AI is not for me

The AI reading was just wrong. The inflection was off putting and it’s to bad because I liked the stories and actually read them rather than listen. Pretty good plots and the mysteries were good as well

Nice Themed Chapters

I like she used cake-themed chapter names mostly. Virtual Voice pronounced a few terms wrong, but “Abuela” in the 5th book was botched making it sound like a thing vs “grandma” in Spanish. The audio or writing also left the main character thoughts as incomplete sentences; Rachel would ponder if….
I thought my Alexa messed up the first few times, “but no…”.
