Influencer-turned-bakery-owner Maddy Montgomery has sold plenty of wedding cakes before, but before she turns one out for her and her fiancé’s wedding, she’ll have to solve a little case of murder . . .

Aunt Octavia would be so proud! Maddy has turned Baby Cakes Bakery—named for her 250-pound English Mastiff, Baby—into a runaway success, and she’s marrying the love of her life, veterinarian Michael Portman. #DreamWedding! Plus the timing couldn’t be better: the country’s biggest bridal expo has come to New Bison, Michigan, and Maddy has secured a spot for Baby Cakes to showcase their cakes. She’s also entered a contest for an all-expenses-paid wedding extravaganza offered by world-renowned wedding planner Serafina.

Unfortunately, supremely nasty Serafina truly takes the cake—she makes the worst bridezilla seem like a shy flower girl. But there’s one thing the wedding planner didn’t plan on—being impaled by one of the skewers Baby Cakes uses on their tiered wedding cakes.

While Maid of Honor Sheriff April Johnson rounds up suspects at the expo, Maddy and her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars, and even Baby join forces to unveil a killer hiding in plain sight . . . before wedding bells start to chime.

One night. That’s all it took to turn my life into a crime scene.

Three lives were lost—and somehow, in the wreckage, the blame landed on me. His friends looked at me like I was a confession. My best friend stared like I was the reason the world went dark. Everyone I loved—gone in the same breath.

Welcome to the Hillsboro Institute for the mentally insane. Where the showers are lukewarm, the cafeteria is a zoo and our nights are spent having orgasms.

The animals between these walls are the most frightening creatures you will ever meet, and Master D is the worst of them all. Then there is me–Hi I’m Lolli- Lolli-Gag. I’m your resident clown who never stops giggling, talks a mile a minute and loves to make friends, even if Jethro hates everyone.
One thing you will learn quickly around here is not to cross me because once you do, I will make your life a living hell, just like mine is. But worse. So follow me into the depths of this wonderful adventure we are going to have. Please keep all hands and feet inside the vehicle of torture at all times, drink from the red cups and away we go.
