A Smoking Bun

Bakeshop Mystery, Book 18

De: Ellie Alexander

Narrado por: Emily Durante

The mountains are calling in Ashland, Oregon, where pastry chef turned amateur sleuth, Jules Capshaw, is baking up a bevy of spiced curry buns and chai cookies for a moonlit snowshoe tour. Ramiro's family is visiting from Spain and Jules can't wait to take them up to her beloved Mount A with its charming and rustic lodge, backcountry trails, and star-filled skies that stretch for miles. Their winter wonderland adventure is nothing short of magical and the merry party opts to return to the slope the next day for the Downhill Dummy.

The annual competition is a favorite amongst snow lovers. Contestants strap makeshift dummies to skis and send them hurling down a death-defying ski jump in hopes of catching big air. It's a fun and festive atmosphere as dummies sail past the crowd to huge cheers and applause. Until one of the dummies takes a deadly detour and lands atop Fitz Baskin.

Fitz is a guide on the mountain and his icy dealings have made for frosty relationships with everyone he encounters. Suddenly there are more suspects than snowdrifts as Jules dives into the investigation. She unearths a web of secrets and motives that threaten to shake the rustic mountain lodge to its core. Can she catch the killer before they strike again, or will the truth be buried forever under fluffy layers of fresh snow?

Another great read

I have to say in each book comes out in the series. I love it more and more and it makes me eager for the next book to come out as soon as possible. Thank you, Ellie for such a wonderful and amazing series. I feel like I know the characters personally.

Another great addition

Ellie Alexander has crafted another great addition in her Bakeshop Mysteries Series. All the characters we’ve grown to know and love are included as well as a nice mystery.

Emily Durante, as always, gave a stellar performance as she breathed life into the storyline and giving each character their own distinct voice.

I highly look forward to the next book/audiobook in this wonderful series, and am anxiously waiting.

I highly recommend this book to cozy mystery fans.

Blended family

I liked that Juliet welcomed Carlos son, Romero, and family from Spain with open arms and an open heart.

Julieta does it again!

I really enjoy this series and this author. Very interesting plot. Always adding new characters.
