Inhaltsangabe

She bakes wedding cakes. She solves murders. But this time, the killer is family.

Welcome back to Sugar & Sin, where baker Vera’s fondant hides more than buttercream... it hides evidence.

Layered Lies is the second book in the Sugar & Sin Culinary Cozy Mystery series. Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Diane Mott Davidson, and Jessica Beck.

One month after a wedding day shooting exposed a $12M money-laundering ring, Vera just wants to get back to baking. But when a mysterious order for her signature "White Almond Velvet" cake arrives—the same cake from her husband's murder—Vera knows someone is back for seconds.

The note reads:
"For old time's sake. –S"

Is it Selene, the witness who vanished into WITSEC? Is it Olivia, texting from prison? Or is it a ghost from Vera's past, ready to kill again?

When a person in chef’s whites is caught on camera watching her shop, Vera must sift through a wedding's worth of lies to uncover the truth. Because this time, the poison isn’t in the cake... it's in her family tree.
