Houses and Homicide A Bakery Detectives Cozy Mystery edition by Stacey Alabaster Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
I'd give this 3.5 stars. Except for the fuzziness of the corporate buyout I'd have given it 4.5. It's a typical cozy, heroine owns a business and solves crime. But, the corporate buyout was kind of strange. The bakery isn't making much money but the chain is going to buy it, keep them on to run it, and give them big raises. Yeah, that's how business works :) Plus the author seemed to use the word franchise interchangeably with acquisition. A franchise would mean they would pay the corp big bucks and redecorate their bakery at their expense and likely be forced to bake what headquarters told them to. In return they would get national advertising, management training, and tried tested recipes. In an acquisition, corporate would pay them, remodel the bakery, change the menu to their proven products, and likely bring in their own management. I don't see big raises in either business model. As a business owner, these details kind of got in the way of the story., If they don't bug you, pretend I gave it 4.5 stars and read it, because otherwise it was a perfectly good, albeit short, cozy, except for another stretch of the imagination listed below, but it's kind of a spoiler, but nothing to do with the crime.PS: SPOILER ALERT: Here's another stretch. Who buys a house and within a month the roof just collapses? I don't mean a little leak, or a shingle fell off, I mean it caved in and fell into the living room, roof, ceiling, and all. Don't people inspect these things? In some places I think home inspections are mandatory. To be that rotten should have been obvious to anyone who looked at the attic. Even the Realtor should have seen that. It was a contract sale, so there was no lender inspection.

Houses and Homicide A Bakery Detectives Cozy Mystery edition by Stacey Alabaster Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
This is a good, clean whodunit that follows the main characters as they try to figure out the who and why to the murder mystery in their small town. Not much baking done and no recipes.
I enjoyed reading another cozy mystery by Stacey Alabaster with Rachael and Pippa.
As Rachael is trying to finalize plans to sell Rachael's Boutique Bakery to The Pastry Tree corporation the acquisition manager.
If you enjoy reading cozy mysteries, this is the book for you.
Just when Rachael and Pippa seem to be headed for Easy Street, the roof caves in-literally and figuratively. But that doesn't stop the intrepid duo from tackling the mystery of the murder of their corporate connection.
Ka ching! Rachael is selling out to a bakery franchise. Everyone at Rachael's Boutique Bakery.is happy since it means big raises! Pippa and Marcello are even talking about buying a house. But then the agent in charge of the deal starts acting strange...
Whimsical cozy mystery! Kenneth, Rachael's boyfriend, isn't happy over the proposed merger; trouble on the romantic front? Good read.
Just when the sale of the bakery is all but signed the Rep I'd found murdered! Rachael and Pippa are on the case and have so much on their hands besides finding a murderer! Once again the author has given us a great story and the characters are old friends. New folks are added and old characters stop by. Loved this book!
Rachel and Pippa are at it again. Murder, baking and sleuthing. This story picks up where the last book left off, which was great. The characters are fun and interesting. The story is fast paced and I could not put it down. Love how the characters grow with each new story. It was interesting to see how their lives are upended when their deal with a big corporation falls through. They persevered, each coping in their own way, Pippa’s coping was hilarious. Highly recommend this mystery to anyone who loves a good book. Love this series.
Racheal and Pippa are getting ready to sell their little bakery to the big corporation, The Pastry Tree. All they need now is to see the final paperwork and sign it. But Cheryl, from The Pastry Tree, keeps putting them off. Later and later. This doesn't set well with Racheal, but even more with Pippa, who has bought a house for her daughter and husband. Racheal starts to follow Cheryl around to see what is going on, and she suspects that Cheryl wants to buy a small hole in the wall donut shop called The Dough Planet. She decides to have a talk with Cheryl and goes to her hotel room only to find her dead. Now what? Who would want to kill Cheryl? Also the hotel manager is acting strangely, and Racheal hears him on his phone telling someone that "....Miss Spellman is gone." Who was he talking to? You will need to read the book to find out who the real killer is and why.
