Sometimes taking a vacation…
Can be murder.
Missy Gladstone was finally ready for a break. With both of her Louisiana cupcake shops thriving, the hardworking baker can’t remember the last time she took a vacation.

As the local authorities close in, Chas races to uncover the truth before his favorite amateur sleuth becomes the prime suspect in a crime she didn’t commit. With a killer hiding among the palm trees and danger lurking behind every tropical sunset, Missy must rely on her instincts to stay one step ahead.

Can Missy and Chas expose the murderer before her Caribbean vacation ends in a jail cell? Or will this trip to paradise be her most dangerous adventure yet?
