Summary
As autumn settles over the charming hamlet of Ashland, Oregon, ushering in cool, crisp breezes and a stunning show of color, everyone at Torte is keeping warm by whipping up a bevy of fall treats and spicy lattes. Jules is nearing her due date, and the whole town is abuzz-placing bets on when the twins will make their grand debut. Helen and the team are working on a secret surprise baby shower, complete with cupcakes, cookies, and a feast fit for royalty, or maybe just a mother-to-be.

Critics Review
“A whirlwind cozy that will have readers craving fall goodies and puzzling along with Torte Bakery owner Jules and her friend Lance.” –Library Journal
Praise for the Bakeshop Mysteries:
“Another fun read in this mystery series that leaves readers hungry for more.” –Fresh Fiction on Laying Down the Latte
“This delectable series transports readers to Ashland, Oregon… I highly recommend this series to readers who enjoy clever plots, likable characters, and good food.” –Mystery Scene on A Batter of Life and Death
“Alexander’s charming series offers descriptions of enticingly fattening foods, a tour of southern Oregon, and, incidentally, a mystery that provides enough riddles to keep you guessing without ever upstaging the main event.” –Kirkus Reviews on Till Death Do Us Tart
“A Batter of Life and Death is a delightful cozy mystery that will keep you turning pages to see what Jules is going to get into next…. Grab a few napkins, because you’ll be drooling all over the pages as you read some of the delicious-sounding recipes these chefs are cooking up.” –Fresh Fiction
“This debut culinary mystery is a light soufflé of a book (with recipes) that makes a perfect mix for fans of Jenna McKinley, Leslie Budewitz, or Jessica Beck.” –Library Journal on Meet Your Baker
