cheating husband, murder and stolen art!

Oh my God! I finally made it to reading book one in the Cupcake Catering Mystery Series!

This is also the only book in audio format. Maybe the others will follow?

In this book Emory comes across as an extremely naïve person that needs to get hit by several clue-by-fours. Totally different from how you will see her in at least books 3 to 5. I haven't read book 2 yet, smiles. Maybe that's where she wakes up a bit?

In the beginning Emory's mom and twin sister's reactions to her life falling apart is mind boggling. Oh Emory, you're cheating on your husband and have this horrible picture on facebook, fix it now! What will people think? Or, you look like crap, I just can't be seen with you in this way. Our reputation! Yep, it's all poor Emory's fault!

If I could have reached through the book I would have given her a good shake. What part of shhh, don't talk Emory is hard to get? You keep talking yourself into more trouble, lol.

I believe Kim Davis picked a good narrator for this book. Alyson Steel does a good job when showing the different types of emotions you'll find in this story, shock, exasperation and definitely those naïve moments from Emory.

It was great getting to see how Emory started working for Tilly. She is definitely quite a character. She is definitely my favorite of them all.
