Death by Chocolate, a Dessert First Cozy Mystery / Carol Lee / 76 pages

Myra Bailey moved to Fish Creek Falls after her divorce and realized her heart's desire - opening her own bakery, Dessert First.  Her shop is the first competition for Barbara's Brilliance, which has been the only bakery in town for twenty years.  Unfortunately, Barbara Simpson is found dead on the floor of her shop.  She had eaten a piece of poisoned chocolate cake.  The piece might be a piece of Myra's Death By Chocolate Cake.  Detective David Bentley fears she is going to take the fall for this.  One of Myra's recipe cards was found near Barbara's hand and Myra has no alibi.  Myra and her best friend, Lizzie, work together to uncover the murderer.  Shallow character development and highly predictable plot disappoint while entertaining.
