Wedding Cakes and Wakes

Wedding bells, wayward sisters, and one very unusual wake...

Private investigator Ev Delafose has her hands full in the quaint Southern village of Graisseville, Louisiana. As the proud "best man-person" for Shorty and Annabelle's wedding, she's determined to pull off the perfect small-town celebration—including tracking down the elusive groom's cake recipe. 

As usual, things start to get complicated. A beloved local's funeral is scheduled for the same time as the wedding, and a group of disgruntled single ladies decide to protest the nuptials. Then her little sister Mad blows into town with a charming new boyfriend in tow. Now Ev really has her hands full.

Chaos brews and secrets simmer while Ev juggles wedding preparations, scheduling nightmares, and a mysterious threat that looms a little too close to home. Can she keep the peace in Graisseville, serve up a successful wedding, and still find the right cake to bake—before the big day devolves into full-blown bedlam? Or will Mad's dramatic reappearance stir up more trouble for the village than even a practiced PI can solve?

A warm and witty cozy mystery full of heart, hijinks, and sisterly shenanigans, Wedding Cakes and Wakes is Book 6 of the Small Town Girl Mystery series.
