When Miss Frankie's neighbor, Bernice comes crashing in one night with tales of seeing the ghost of her uncle, who went missing 15 years ago, Rita and Miss Frankie will find themselves drawn into an investigation deep in the swamps. Bernice's cousin, who is the son of the missing man, is now missing.
A man is found dead in a ditch alongside the missing man's house during the search. Rita and Miss Frankie will be drawn into another investigation.
REBEL WITHOUT A CAKE continues the A Piece of Cake Mystery series. Rita is dealing with promises made to her family and promises my by Miss Frankie and temperamental employees all at once. This has been a fun series to read. I especially enjoyed REBEL WITHOUT A CAKE.
Book Summary
In the still of the night…
Halloween is approaching, and the co-owners of Zydeco Cakes, Rita Lucero and her former mother-in-law, Miss Frankie, have scored a sweet treat—a fantastic catering opportunity that could lead to a rich future for their bakery. But their good news is quickly rattled by a bump in the night when Miss Frankie’s neighbor, Bernice, barrels into her kitchen toting a Bible and a gun, and serves up a story about a ghost at her window.
Bernice swears she just saw the ghost of her moonshiner uncle who disappeared in the swamp fifteen years ago. And when her cousin soon goes missing in the same swamp, Bernice is certain someone’s playing a nasty trick, and convinces Rita and Miss Frankie to help her investigate. They’ll just need to watch their steps, as these ladies are liable to get mired in a very swampy mystery…
