Purchase options and add-ons

A creepy haunted mansion that has been abandoned for decades, a cat that appears out of nowhere and a murder in a locked room are just par for the course for bakery owner Lexy Baker and her posse of amateur sleuth grandmas.

Lexy takes a working vacation to help her grandmother's friend launch her new bed and breakfast and she ends up in the middle of a mysterious murder investigation. Her homicide detective husband, Jack, finds himself playing amateur sleuth beside Lexy and the iPad toting grandmas while they sift through a cast of secretive suspects to prove the killer was no ghost.

In the tradition of the old-fashioned mysteries, this Lexy Baker novella is a real puzzler that will keep you guessing until the end.

A new location, but the same crime solving crew with a few new characters to make it more interesting and a well crafted twisty plot. I can't wait to read the next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but frustrating
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2022

The characters weren't quite up to snuff. Most of them fit into one group or another, with only a few stand-outs and only two who could be the villain.

On a different note, it was very frustrating to find that Book 12 of the series, "No Scone Unturned", is not part of Kindle Unlimited.

This series has the best stories. More twists and turns than many other mysteries that I have encountered. One of the better storytellers, the author takes the reader on a journey through murder, mayhem and romance with a apt I like of humor.

3.0 out of 5 stars A New Agatha
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a book in the vein of Agatha Christie, the mystery writing juggernaut, a legend even in my youth. It is an ideal quick read , for someone who prefers largely intellectual reasoning to solve the mystery, rather than violence or high tech. In this offering I got the sense that I was meant to know information about the character which I didn't, then discovered it was the 7th in a huge series that keeps growing. I don't think I will be reading the rest as it was personally a little sedate for my taste but this authors following suggests that many appreciate her style.

so upfront let me say the lexy baker mystery series by Leighann Dobbs is one of the cozy mysteries i eagerly look forward to reading as they come out-- the 11th Brutal Brûlée - was as usual a delight--- only our gal lexy taking a working vacation with her detective husband jack to help her grandmothers friend open a bed and breakfast could find herself wrapped up in a locked room murder mystery -- throw in a very sneaky cat- a restored mansion rumored to be haunted that is filled with guests opening week and a tv crew trying to solve a mystery over 20 years old and once again we drawn into a fun who dun it only this time around lexy takes a step back and gram is the one following all the clues ---this was a little shorter then Leighann Dobbs usual tales but was still entertaining and all the recipes were posted in the back as usual --looking forward to the next one-- ---- oh and the first one Killer Cupcakes is FREE on the kindle ----

Book 11: WOW..what a great story. Lexy is back with Jack, her grandmother Mona and the "girls" who have been invitied to spend the weekend at the new home of Violet a old house that she has restored with a history of having a ghost.

Well you know with that combination the story will be catching, wanting you to turn one more page till the eyes are closing. I downloaded this 2 days and didn't do much after that but read every chance I could.

I love the way Leighann Dobbs brings you into a story and leaves you wanting more when the story is finished. Can you tell I love what she writes. I have read each of her series.

This mystery looked at the issue of the stolen tiara and the classic locked room murder. The clues were tricky until the amateur detective solved it. I thought of the wrong suspect until the clues pointed to the correct suspect. The old mansion had a surprising secret.

Another entertaining read by leighann Dobbs.
Lexy is helping her Nans friend who has just opened a bed and breakfast in Wellington Manse by cooking the desserts for a film crew who are making a documentary on the ghost of Wellington manse . Then the producer is found dead and Lexy, Nans , Jack ( lexy's husband) and Nans friends ( Ida , Helen and Violet) need to work with the police to solve the mystery.
Great humorous characters and an interesting story line but a short read.
