About this ebook
"Murder Takes the Cake is light-hearted fun, with a little mystery; a little romance; a little family dysfunction; and several out-of-the-ordinary adventures thrown in to make it a fun-filled whodunit." - Shelley Glodowski, Senior Reviewer, The Midwest Book Review
"The sequel to Murder Off the Books, Murder Takes the Cake is another delicious treat from Evelyn David. All of our old friends are back - including Rachel, Mac, and of course, Whiskey - in this tale of murder and deception involving missing caskets, several dead bodies, and a wedding few want to take place. Mac Sullivan, a complicated protagonist with a canine best friend, is good at solving mysteries but not as adept in the romance department. Will Mac and Rachel make the relationship they've been dancing around a reality? But more importantly, will he be able to stay out of the line of fire, even as the body count rises? Evelyn David leaves me hungry for more books in this series!" - Maggie Barbieri - author of the Alison Bergeron mystery series.
"What do a sexy mortician, a feisty septuagenarian with a souped-up scooter, and an Irish wolfhound with a nose for murder have in common? They're all helping Washington DC p.i. Mac Sullivan find out who's trying to kill a very nervous bride-to-be. Smart, fast and laugh-out-loud funny, Murder Takes the Cake is another tasty treat from Evelyn David who takes readers on a merry chase from a turkey farm in Virginia all the way to Capitol Hill. And JJ, a goth computer expert, is one of the coolest characters I've met in years!" - Rosemary Harris – author of Pushing Up Daisies
"Murder Takes the Cake is precisely what cozy mysteries are all about! Beautifully plotted, with a splendid cast of characters, this book is another highly entertaining read from Evelyn David." - Jessica Conant Park - author of the Gourmet Girl mystery series and Flat Out Love.

Reviews for Murder Takes the Cake
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The writing team that is Evelyn David is even better in this second book in the series. All the same characters are there with a few new ones for some variety. Whiskey the Irish Wolfhound plays a couple of important parts and Mac and Rachel are dancing around each other, all while in the midst of wedding plans for Mac's god daughter Bridget O'Herlihy. Throw in a few bodies and a couple of dead rats and life just keeps getting more interesting. I can't wait for the next in the series
