First in the Bakeshop Mystery series. Also, first time read of this author. Really enjoyed the book. The setting is in Washington state. Juliet returns to her hometown after leaving her husband (coworker) and job on a cruise ship line. She returns "temporarily" to get her act together and help out her mom in the family bake shop. A murder takes place in the shop after hours and Juliet is determined to find out who did it. She also tackles helping out her mom with the financial problems of the shop and reconnecting with former boyfriend turned policeman. More realistic scenarios than some of the cozies I've read. Very good read!
