The Whisking Hour by Ellie Alexander
I've been really enjoying Ellie Alexander's Bakeshop mytery series even though I've only read a handful of them. It's easy to jump in and get a sense of the characters without reading the previous twenty-one titles. This one is set in Ashland, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the main character, Juliet Caphshaw. One of her best friends has asked her to cater a murder-themed dinner for the cast of his latest production and Juliet the staff of her bakery, Torte, have gone all out with the decor and menu. When a body is found in one of the dressing rooms, they scurry to modify the menu and figure out the identity of the killer. I love that this book focused on Lance, a character I didn't get to know very well in the previous books. Juliet's world is fun to experience for a few hours and I look forward to catching up with the rest of the series.
