Thatās what cupcake truck owner Isabel Addington is left asking herself when sheās hired to cater a birthday party where the guest of honor dies before he can even taste her cupcakes.
But itās none of her business. She needs to focus on preventing her abusive husband from finding her and on keeping her struggling food truck afloat. When the police declare the dead manās death a murder, neither of those goals seem likely. Her fingerprints were all over the murder weapon⦠if you can call a bottle of ketchup a weapon.
Now the woman who hired her is refusing to pay, a nosy reporter is putting her true identity at risk of discovery, and the dead manās handsome grandson wants to prove she killed his grandfather.
Her future holds either a casket or an orange prison jumper unless she can find out who really went to all the trouble and risk of killing a hundred-year-old man.
Sugar and ViceĀ is the first book in award-winning author Emily JamesāĀ Cupcake Truck Mysteries. If you love cozy mysteries with found family, amateur sleuths, and food, then you'll want to sink your teeth into this story today!

Emily James grew up watching TV shows likeĀ Matlock,Ā Monk, andĀ Murder She Wrote. (Itās pure coincidence that they all begin with an M.) It was no surprise to anyone when she turned into a mystery writer.
Alongside being a writer, sheās also a baker, an animal lover, and a musician.
Emily and her husband share their home with a coonhound mix, eight cats (all rescues), and a budgie (who is both the littlest and the loudest).
