A Case for the Cookie Baker

Ainsley McGregor, Book 5

By: Candace Havens

Narrated by: Kimberly M. Wetherell

It's all fun and games until the last cookie crumbles . . .

Ainsley McGregor and the entire town of Sweet River, Texas, are preparing for the annual summer celebration. And thanks to the extra tourist traffic, Ainsley's shop, Bless Your Art, has never been busier. Good thing her new friend, Lizzie, has opened a bakery nearby and provides Ainsley and her staff with tasty treats and daily sugar rushes. It's all cookies and fun, until someone ends up dead in the bakery and her new pal is the prime suspect.

Ainsley is convinced Lizzie is innocent. Unfortunately, her brother, the town sheriff, and her boyfriend, Jake, have some not-so-secret suspicions. With a town full of strangers who just might be suspects, Ainsley finds herself targeted by a killer. Even as her world crumbles faster than a cookie, she's determined to prove her friend's innocence—if she can stay alive long enough.

Contains mature themes.

seemed pretty busy with a lot of undertones of relationships. I enjoyed the first 4 better. The feeling sick all the time was really a part that did not add much to the story but was nauseated hearing about it multiple times.
