Fudge Cupcake Murder
Joanne Fluke

I started out not really liking this book. It is one of those easily written/easily read books that start out a bit slow for me. But, once I got past the first chapter or two, I took it for what it was, a fun easy read. Although I did finally get into the basic plot and had figured out the murderer in the middle of the book, I kept reading. The best part is really in the recipes. The main character is a baker by day/sleuth by night. The tie in of recipe to the story is its only redeeming feature, although the witty banter between characters isn't bad either. Without the recipes, I'd probably tell you not to pick up another one. I will probably try one more; the recipes sound good.
