A terrific start to a new series. Winnie Johnson has inherited a vintage ambulance and a feisty cat from neighbor Gertrude Redenbacher. Hoping that Gertrude had left her money enough to keep her bakery Delectable Delights alive, Winnie is disappointed but soon embarks on a new business venture - The Emergency Dessert Squad. With the help of her best friend and employee, Renee and the advice of her elderly neighbors Parker Nelson and Bridget O'Keefe Winnie is soon delivering desserts all around Silver Lake.

Winnie discovers her neighbor Bart Wagner lying dead on his kitchen floor. The recent widower was a close friend of Winnie's and she's determined to find his killer and also settle the nerves of the other Seniors living on Serenity Lane. With plenty of suspects to choose from Winnie has her hands full investigating, starting her new business and trying to figure out a new romance.

Definitely a unique premise for a series - a fun cast of characters and a crotchety cat will have you laughing out loud, the recipes are great! I'll be looking forward to the next in the series, Silence of the Flans.
