About this listen
Killer cupcakes?
Seems improbable to Lina, but when an attractive detective snaps cuffs on her and accuses her of witchy crimes, she's forced to reconsider.
The murder weapon? A cupcake topper sold in Lina's shop Sticky, Tricky Treats.
The method? A killing curse.
The curse's origin? Lina...sort of.
Except, Lina hadn't a clue that she was a witch and certainly didn't know she'd accidentally cursed some of her confections.
She's got to catch the killer who used her magic to murder or possibly face a conviction as an accessory.
Now, if only the wizard detective assigned to the case weren't such a distraction.
Cutthroat Cupcakes is a magical witch culinary cozy with a touch of romance, the first of three books in the Cursed Candy Mysteries series!

Luna Thorn’s past is a mystery...even to herself. She arrived in Detroit amid a swirl of lights and magic. She had no memory of where she came from. No idea why she was there. Years later, she’s established herself as a force to be reckoned with on the Detroit magical scene. She ingratiated herself with the local reapers. She set up a community called the Cathedral to help those who had been displaced from their homes and families, declaring that nobody would fall through the cracks. Still, doubt remains.

Story
With a name like Quinn Calahan, I sounded as Irish as a leprechaun dancing a jig on a four leafed clover, but the truth was, I’d never been closer to the emerald isle than drinking green beer at the St Patrick’s day street party in Boston until I messed up so badly I had to leave the US. I was offered a job in a tiny village in Ireland that no one’s ever heard of. And I think that was the point in sending me there.

Her store The Quirky Whisker is full of curiosities, from extremely potent sleepy teas and ever-burning candles to kids' toys that seem to run endlessly without the aid of batteries. The people of Edgehill think of the Quirky Whisker as an integral part of their feline-obsessed town, but most give Amber herself a wide berth.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

Story
Ferrying tourists around Dublin for the Leprechaun Limo Service makes quite a change after years in the military. Still, Megan Malone is enjoying her life in Ireland. She likes the scenery, the easy pace, the quirky, quick-witted locals. Everything - except having one of her clients drop dead at the statue of fabled fishmonger, Molly Malone. Most restaurant critics notch up their share of enemies. Elizabeth Darr, however, was a well-loved international star. She and her husband, Simon, had just had dinner when Elizabeth collapsed, and spoiled seafood is the first suspect.

Fun and light, like candy
I was looking for something to listen to over the Halloween season and after listening to a few samples I preferred this narrator to the others. The story itself is straightforward, with characters that I found promising. There’s a lot of potential with all of them, and I plan on listening to other books to find out what she decides to do with them. The mystery was a little bit abrupt, and I found myself wishing there was more of a twist because they figure out who the murderer is sort of by accident and fairly early. I was sort of hoping they would turn out to be wrong at the last second but no dice. I like the way the author is handling magic and its uses and limitations, and look forward to seeing more development on that as Lina learns to use her powers. I did find some of the phrasing and internal monologue kind of repetitive, and I wish we got to know Lina a little more (where and how she lives, her training for making candy, maybe watching her make it) just for the comfort aspect…but I understand how dropping us into the middle of the arrest felt like a more compelling start to the story. Overall I enjoyed this and found Lina to be interesting because on the edge of death, she thinks about her business instead of loved ones, and wonders what that says about her, which as a small business owner without much close family I could uncomfortably relate to. So many leading lady characters are overly selfless and nurturing and have these loving family and friend relationships to prove they’re “good-hearted people” and it’s fun to see something different being done here.
