Isabel and her business partner Claire are working out of a borrowed truck that’s too small for them, but they couldn’t miss the opportunity to sell their cupcakes at the annual hot air balloon festival. It’s the break they need to expand the business.
But the day goes from bad to worse to murder when a man plummets to his death from one of the hot air balloons.
The operator swears the man jumped out on his own. The man’s family insists he wouldn’t have killed himself.
Isabel finds herself in the middle of the investigation again, but more is at stake than she realized.
Especially when someone delivers a threat into the hands of one of the people Isabel loves the most.
If you love cozy mysteries with found family, amateur sleuths, and food, then you'll love this sweet cozy mystery. Gum Drop Dead is the third book in Emily James’ Cupcake Truck Mysteries.
Cupcake recipe included!
Emily James grew up watching TV shows like Matlock, Monk, and Murder She Wrote. (It’s 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, she’s 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).
