TO HAVE AND TO KILL: Wedding Cake Mystery's Debut is a Delicious Whodunit
What's not to like about a wedding-cake-themed whodunit whose heroine trolls eBay in an unfortunately fruitless quest for a classic Cartier tank watch? (The author may have boned up on cake decorating, but she sure doesn't know from eBay; there are hundreds of Cartier tank watches available at ebay.com, and an astute eBay shopper can score one for under $300. But I digress.) Struggling actress Piper Donovan is between gigs. With none in sight plus a recently broken engagement getting her down, she moves back home to New Jersey to help out in her mother's cakery while she gets her act together. As luck would have it, a good friend who also happens to be the star of the soap opera that Piper was recently written out of is getting married after a whirlwind romance, so she commissions Piper to create her dream wedding cake. Murder ensues...and Piper is center stage in her pal's real-life drama. Is it the ex-husband? The spurned girlfriend? The financially finagling brother? A mysterious stranger? With a hunky FBI agent ex-neighbor/urban buddy as her leading man, Piper soon finds herself sifting through suspects on the trail of a ruthless killer. Ex-CBS newswoman Mary Jane Clark has mastered the recipe for cooking up good fiction, and "To Have and To Kill" takes the cake. Piper and the other characters are nicely drawn, and the storyline is competently plotted, with a satisfactory climax and believable denouement, Since this is essentially a cozy, a happy ending is the icing on the cake. It remains to be seen whether this Wedding Cake Mystery is the start of a new series, but I'm hoping for at least a sequel. For those who like their whodunits on the lighter side – with more suspense than gore – "To Have and To Kill" serves up a delicious read that's even easier to enjoy in large print.
