The comedic timing, the influx of charismatic characters and the setting, were infinitely entertaining. This book has all the makings of a great movie. I highly, recommend it!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Pat<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Kwk3x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/murder-at-the-beacon-bakeshop\/id1542842993?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_murder_at_the_beacon_bakeshop&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/murder-at-the-beacon-bakeshop-darci-hannah\/1137127540?ean=9781496731753\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/murder-at-the-beacon-bakeshop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Darci_Hannah_Murder_at_the_Beacon_Bakeshop?id=wCPpDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More interested in kneading dough than adding it up, Lindsey\u2019s breakup inspired her to set up the shop she always wanted in a place that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,127,48],"tags":[153,223,367,404,405,485],"class_list":["post-27026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kensington-publishing-companies","category-patricia","category-reviews","tag-4-5-stars","tag-cozy-mystery","tag-mystery","tag-recommend","tag-recommended-reads","tag-top-picks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

She\u2019d spent many childhood summers near this beach community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery caf\u00e9 and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey and her devoted Newfoundland dog, Wellington.<\/p><p>But not everyone in town has a sweet tooth. The preservation society won\u2019t have the lighthouse\u2019s history sugar coated by lattes and cakes\u2014and a protest group crashes Lindsey\u2019s Memorial Day opening. Then her ex-fianc\u00e9 Jeffrey Plank and his girlfriend Mia Long arrive to trash the place. In the ensuing chaos Mia chokes on a donut and dies.<\/p><p>An autopsy reveals cyanide in Mia\u2019s bloodstream and Lindsey is the police\u2019s prime suspect.

The comedic timing, the influx of charismatic characters and the setting, were infinitely entertaining. This book has all the makings of a great movie. I highly, recommend it!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Pat<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Kwk3x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/murder-at-the-beacon-bakeshop\/id1542842993?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_murder_at_the_beacon_bakeshop&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/murder-at-the-beacon-bakeshop-darci-hannah\/1137127540?ean=9781496731753\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/murder-at-the-beacon-bakeshop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Darci_Hannah_Murder_at_the_Beacon_Bakeshop?id=wCPpDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
