Book #1 in the Daphne Martin Mystery series:

Cozy murder mystery. When the meanest gossip in Brea Ridge dies mysteriously, suspicions turn to cake decorator Daphne Martin. But all Daphne did was deliver a spice cake with cream cheese frosting--and find Yodel's body. Now Daphne's got to help solve the murder and clear her good name. Problem is, her Virginia hometown is brimming with people who had good reason to kill Yodel, and Daphne's whole family is among them.

This book has a different book cover. I bought this at a library sale in Woodstock, Georgia.

My Review: This was a cute cozy mystery. I liked the characters and the eccentric small town people. The main character Daphne could have used more personality, and I would have liked to know more about the guy she starts dating in this story. I didn't figure out the murderer until Daphne did, so I call that a win.
