In my opinion, excellent first book in a new series. Gayle Trent also writes under the name Amanda Lee, and she has an ongoing series there, these are really good.

In this book Daphne Martin is trying to make a go of her new cake baking business. During a delivery, she finds one of her customers dead. The woman has been poisoned, and even though she never even saw the cake Daphne delivered, the small town rumor mill has decided that the cake may be a little suspicious. This of course does nothing to help business. Lots of action. One of those "I couldn't put it down" books. Looking forward to the next novel. The second book is "Dead Pan", with the third being published 10/11/11; "Killer Sweet Tooth."
