Mel and Angie have entered a pastry baking contest, hoping to beat their rival Olivia for the grand prize. The judges are mostly people Mel knew from culinary school, including her old mentor Vic Mazzotta. Vic can be a hard man to live, but Mel is still surprised when he is found dead inside an ice truck. Had he made a lethal enemy?

The book sets up the suspects and motives early on before Vic’s body is even found. I did feel the pacing sagged a bit in the middle, but for the most part, this was a great mystery with some good twists and a great climax. The characters are fun as always, too. It’s easy to see why the series is so popular.

Sophie Winston is hosting Thanksgiving for her family and facing off against her high school rival, domestic diva Natasha Smith, in a stuffing contest. The last thing she needs is to find a dead body while out grocery shopping. Worse yet, the police think she is a suspect when they find her picture in the dead man’s car. What is happening?

I’ve heard lots of good about this series, and it is obviously well deserved. The large cast of characters are so well developed I never had a hard time keeping them straight. The plot starts out strongly, but it does get bogged down in the middle before reaching a wonderful climax. I’m certainly curious to see where Sophie goes from here.

This is a depressing book for younger children. I found myself remembering the time that I read this book in 7th grade. The book is definitely written for children. It is definitely an emotional book. I remember crying in class while I was reading it.

This is one of the most depressing books that I have ever read. I felt the need to reread it to see if it really was as depressing as I remembered it, it was.

I finally decided that I needed to reread the book. Though the book did not give me the emotional reaction I had in middle school I did feel sorrow for the main character.

This is an anti-bullying book but it seems that it is more about how the rich will rule the world and the poor will be forced to walk in the streets.
