Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop

Beacon Bakeshop Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Darci Hannah

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley

After Lindsey Bakeswell catches her celebrity chef fiance sizzling in the arms of another woman, Lindsey leaves big city Wall Street for small town Beacon Harbor, Michigan, to pursue her own passion as a pastry baker - and gets mixed up in someone's sweet taste of revenge....

More interested in kneading dough than adding it up, Lindsey's breakup inspired her to set up the shop she always wanted in a place that always made her happy. She'd spent many childhood summers near this beach community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery cafe and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey.

But not everyone in town has a sweet tooth. The preservation society won't have the lighthouse's history sugar coated by lattes and cakes - and a protest group crashes Lindsey's Memorial Day opening. Then her ex-fiance Jeffrey Plank and his girlfriend Mia Wong arrive to trash the place. In the ensuing chaos Mia chokes on a donut and dies.

An autopsy reveals cyanide in Mia's bloodstream and Lindsey is the police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she's going to need to combine ingredients found in the town's checkered past to uncover the identity of a desperate killer....

Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop is an awesome beginning to a well written cozy mystery series. The plot is interesting and entertaining, the characters engaging and realistic, the dialogue witty and funny. I enjoyed this mystery and strongly encourage others to give it a chance.

Very nice story!!!

Just the right amount of everything in this book, good mystery. Loved the storyline and Wellington.

So lovely to listen to

Wonderful, small community mystery lots of twists and turns captivating even a little romance one wonderful book enjoy

Fun and easy listen

This book had all the usual cozy elements - a woman starting a new chapter in life, a feisty best friend, a handsome neighbor, a dog, and of course lots of baked goods. But it still managed to be somehow different and uniquely interesting. I enjoyed the "trendy New Yorkers in a small town" angle- it was done in a way that was entertaining without overly stereotyping. The main character is smart and self-sufficient. The narrator did a great job bringing various personalities to life.
