When project leader, Alma Stoller, of the St. Ignatius "Crack of Dawn Breakfast Club" is murdered, Sugar and Dixie have to work overtime to make sure they meet the deadline and don't become a murderer's next victims!

St. Ignatius, Iowa is in an uproar and the gossip mill is in high gear! Bad boy Nick Marchant, who broke high school hearts (Dixie's included), is back in town and looking to become reacquainted. Strangers are in town and prowling around Alma's house, threats are made and the ladies have to keep their business going!

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one! Sugar and Dixie's pasts are explored (especially Sugar's father) and the characters continue to develop. The mystery solving duo are smart, independent, don't rush into danger (though it finds them!) and work with law enforcement. The books feature Sugar, in the lead role, and I love the character! She's open, funny, tries to do the right thing and is smart. Dixie is dependable, down to earth and relatable. The two of them make the perfect team!

Of course, there's the lovable feline Ernest, the "on the go seniors" - Greer and Bunny, the Red Hen (where I'd love to eat) and the funny and annoying Mrs. Pickett (you'll love her theory on weeds!) that add to the enjoyment of the series!

I'm looking forward to the next cookbook adventure!

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

“Sugar” Calloway former magazine editor with blue-ribbon baker Dixie Spicer teamed up together for a community cookbook publisher business. They also have a knack in solving mysteries.

They find themselves involves in the latest fundraising project of St. Ignatius Crack of Dawn Breakfast Club which is known for all you can eat biscuit and gravy fare. But soon someone get more than just gravy as they end up early in their grave.

Throw in the return of the local bad boy, who keeps the gossip and mayhem alive. Will they be able to figure out the killer before the killer turns their sight on them?

A yummy read which makes you want to try the recipes at the end of the book.
