A light hearted cozy mystery with colorful characters, a quick pace and a light touch of humor…
~Queen of All She Reads
Killer Wedding Cake was a fun, suspenseful thrill-ride that kept me at the edge of my seat.
~Moonlight Rendezvous
This fast- paced mystery will have you on the edge of your seat guessing until the end.
~Shelley’s Book Case
The author’s engaging writing style, both as Gayle Trent and in the Embroidery Shop Mysteries as Amanda Lee makes each book a yummy layer to the cake that is its series. (Truth be told here, I read Wicked Stitch multiple times and I can see that happening with Killer Wedding Cake as well.
~Back Porchervations
Trent does a great job of keeping all the parts moving and coming together with unexpected (and sometimes humorous) twists and turns.
~Christa Reads and Writes
I enjoyed the plot and appreciated the interesting characters in the novel.
~MysteriesEtc
This book was fast moving and definitely kept you on your feet…
