Publisher Description
At a local parade in coastal California, a baker provides the pastry—and her sleuthing services . . .
Beloved Mexican bakery Yeast of Eden has scored the catering deal at the annual Santa Sofia, California, art car parade and ball. But when a contestant turns up dead, making bread will be the yeast of their problems . . .
Apprentice baker Ivy Culpepper sees art cars everywhere she turns. Besides helping prepare the bread and pastry for Santa Sofia’s annual spring event, she’s the official photographer, documenting the elaborate cars, outspoken artists, and riotous celebrations. Even her family’s in on the act: her brother Billy has been runner-up in the competition more times than she can count—but this is going to be the year he celebrates his win in the victory lane.
But after Billy’s rival, Max Litman, revs up his bombastic showmanship, Billy is once again set to cruise into second place. Until Max is found dead—positioned as a prop in his own art car. The whole town knows there’s no love lost between the two men, and Billy is the prime suspect. Now Ivy will have to sift through collusion, deception, gossip, and lies to find out what really happened. But with the help of her octogenarian Watson, her restaurateur beau, and her adopted aunts at Yeast of Eden, she knows she can take the heat . . .

Great!
I'm really enjoying reading this series!
In this installment, Ivy is determined that her brother is going to win this year's art car contest. When Billy's biggest competitor is found dead inside his art car and Billy is the prime suspect, can Ivy get to the bottom of this mystery and clear her brother's name?
Wow! This one really surprised me. I had no idea what was coming at the end. I was convinced of everyone's guilt throughout the story but I never saw the ending coming. I loved getting to know Ivy better and I loved seeing more of Billy and Emmaline. I do feel like Miguel was kind of left out of this book until the end. I wish we could get all of the characters in all of the books instead of little glimpses in every other book. Overall, I enjoyed this one and I can't wait to read the next one!
