Batter Off Dead

Southern Cake Baker Mystery, Book 2

By: Maymee Bell

Narrated by: Tiffany Morgan

Sophia Cummings may be unlucky in love, but she knows that the way to a man's heart is through his sweet tooth. This evening, she plans to use that knowledge - and her skills as a New York City-trained pastry chef - to open the hearts and wallets of Rumford, Kentucky's richest men. Sophia, proprietress of For Goodness Cakes, has been commissioned to cater the Heart of the Town Library charity fundraiser at Grape Valley Winery. She's spent all her dough to make this a successful event, raise her profile, and win more plum catering jobs.

At first, the going is as smooth as an elegant chocolate ganache. After nibbling Sophia's tasty treats, Ray Peel, the winery's landlord, announces he will pay off Rumford's library loan. But the evening soon turns decidedly frosty when Ray is murdered - before he can make good on his promise, and before he can pay Sophia for her catering services.

For Goodness Cakes will collapse if Sophia can't collect what she's owed. So, Sophia once again puts on her sleuthing apron to figure out who iced Ray.

Loved it.

Loved dory and all the characters. The narrator did a fantastic job. I will definitely do more in this series

Cute cozy mystery

Fun book! However, the author clearly doesn’t know how a small bakery is run. A little unrealistic there.

Loved it

I loved Batter off Dead and her other bakery murder book.
Hope she writes more!

Perfect narrator!

It was good but the narrator made it so much better, so I had to listen to both.

Thank you!

I love this series, so far. Thank you for using our southern slang appropriately. Thank you to the performer who reads and speaks with the best southern accent. It sounds authentic.
I can’t wait to start the next book.
