Review: BAKING IS MURDER by Kathy Cranston


Jessie was moving back home to help her Aunt Bee in the café. The only one in the family that couldn’t bake was Jessie, but she figured she could waiter or crunch numbers or something. After getting a divorce and losing her job, Jessie needed to do something. Perhaps a little dog-sitting on the side might perk up her spirits…until a body shows up. One dog breeder was murdered and another was missing.

Being a dog-lover herself, she suddenly gets involved when the cops arrest the sweet dog lady for the murder. She may not have known her, but she just couldn’t believe that she’d be capable of killing someone.

I thought this was a good mystery, but the title (BAKING IS MURDER) didn’t really go with the whole dog theme. The murder had nothing to do with baking. The victim wasn’t poisoned or anything. This should’ve had another title that could’ve gone with the dog thing, something like BREEDING IS MURDER or DOGS CAN BE MURDER or something.

Other than that, this was pretty good.

My rating: 4 stars
