Yodel Watson was dead. And some people blamed my spice cake.
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. Follow the Daphne Martin Mystery Series in depth from my WordPress blog. Visit Daphne Martin's Web Page.
