Summary
Pastry chef Sophia Cummings is commissioned to cater the Heart of the Town Library charity fundraiser, but the evening turns frosty when a man is murdered.
Sophia Cummings knows that the way to a man's heart is through his sweet tooth, and plans to use that knowledge-- and her skills as a New York City-trained pastry chef-- to open the hearts and wallets of Rumford, Kentucky's richest men. As proprietress of For Goodness Cakes, Sophia has been commissioned to cater the Heart of the Town Library charity fundraiser at Grape Valley Winery. After nibbling Sophia's tasty treats, Ray Peel, the winery's landlord, announces he will pay off Rumford's library loan. But Ray is murdered before he can make good on his promise-- and before he can pay Sophia for her catering services. -- adapted from jacket
