Book #5 from the series: The Dinner Club Murder Mysteries

Just What I Kneaded

About

Law and order meet sugar and sweet in this cozy courtroom drama.

“Fun Story, good characters, an entertaining read. Love this series, loved this book.” ~A Goodreads reviewer

Jane Marsh is simply trying to buy some fresh bread for her gourmet dinner party when she stumbles upon a murder at her local bakery. The head pastry chef stabbed. An elaborate, celebrity-bound wedding cake destroyed. The bakery owner files a claim for damages with the very insurance company represented by the law firm where Jane works as a paralegal, and to complicate matters, the company suspects fraud.

Fueled by equal parts curiosity and concern, the dinner club decides to use their collective ingenuity—with perhaps a dash too much enthusiasm—to whip up a solution of their own. But one question simmers beneath the surface: will their amateur sleuthing prove to be the secret ingredient for success or will it become another recipe for disaster?

With a killer at large and Jane as the lone potential witness, she searches for the truth that will not only assist her firm’s client, but perhaps save her dinner club friends as well.

Ready to start your own dinner club? Included are some bread recipes worthy of a gourmet dining experience.
