The author’s engaging writing style, both as Gayle Trent
and in the Embroidery Shop Mysteries as Amanda Lee makes each book a
yummy layer to the cake that is its series. (Truth be told here, I read
Wicked Stitch multiple times and I can see that happening with Killer
Wedding Cake as well.

Trent does a great job of
keeping all the parts moving and coming together with unexpected (and
sometimes humorous) twists and turns.

My review: Killer Wedding Cake by Gayle Trent (Daphne Martin Mystery)
4 STARS
This is the first Daphne Martin mystery that I have read. It does a good job standing alone but makes me wish I have read the other mysteries. So I was not familiar with the other characters so the suspects were wide open to me.
Lots of drama, wedding plans, murder and good fun characters.
Daphne Martin is planning to get married to Ben Jacobs. She has not even chosen her wedding cake design yet. Her oven is not working and she has a big order to get done. Then her ex-husband who got out of prison for trying to kill her shows up.
Daphne is a baker out of her house. Her business Daphine's Delectable cakes. She is going to make her own wedding cake. Sells her cakes, cookies at local store. The brownies sound good to me.
Daphne has a bunch of friends that want to help her with all the trials she is going through right now. I like them. Would love to read more about them in the future.
The setting is Brea Ridge, VA
