Books - A Lexy Baker Mystery

 

The Lexy Baker series is a fun read especially sitting in a lawn chair sipping lemonade under an umbrella for shade on a lovely summer afternoon.  Looking at the freezing rain out there I started thinking about summer days reading on the balcony.  Can you tell I can't wait for those days again?

'Things are going great for Lexy Baker. She's finally opened her dream bakery, gotten rid of her cheating boyfriend and settled into her grandmothers house with her perky dog Sprinkles at her side. But her blissful life doesn't last long. When her ex-boyfriend is found poisoned with cupcakes from her bakery,

Lexy finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation headed up by her hunky neighbor detective Jack Perillo. With the help of a gang of iPad toting, would-be detective grandmothers, Lexy decides to take it upon herself to find the real murderer in order to clear her name and get her bakery back in business.

As things heat up on the murder trail, in the kitchen and between Lexy and the hunky detective, it's a race against time to put the real murderer behind bars and get back to baking.'

Yes, a few twists and turns in this series but also a light summer read (or winter if you want to pretend it's summer)

There are 16 books in the series to date and I haven't seen any note about another coming out yet but if it is the end of the series - still a pretty fun read.

'It’s the annual Brooke Ridge Falls dog show and Lexy is excited to cater the event. She’s not going to let the murder at the Doggy Diva pet salon put a damper on things for her. She’s also not going to get sidetracked by the robbery at Farradays Jewelers down the street. Okay, maybe the dog napping in the retirement village will distract her. And what about the person stealing K-cups from the senior center?

Lexy’s grandmother and her gang of senior-citizen amateur sleuths, on the other hand, are excited to investigate all the above even if it means shifting through a variety of suspects including shady salon owners, jaded jewelrs and suspicious senior citizens.'

I would say if you can get these at the library or a used book store, go for it.  If Bookbub has an kindle kind of sale on them, yes, enjoy.  Don't spend full price on them although they always seem to be on a good sale price when I have peeked.  Light read with fun characters.  

They usually don't do it more than once - LOL

Have a great day and enjoy a good book.
