Two fun-loving pastry chefs. One luxury cruise ship heading to the Bahamas. And an elusive killer running amok with a penchant for cleavers.

Luggage rolling behind her, she sets out on her first day, and it's everything she imagined.

But when a body is found in the kitchen, both women become prime suspects in a murder investigation. Compelled to prove their innocence, Ruth and Loretta must work together, all while desperately covering up a mouse running loose in the dining room.

Another cruise is off to a deadly start… Ruth Shores—cruise ship pastry chef extraordinaire—is busy creating her scrumptious desserts for an upcoming class reunion. The party includes an appearance by the famed alumnus and world-renowned author, Vincent Von Hemmingsly. Understaffed, Ruth must work alongside her best friend, Loretta Moran, to meet an unrealistic deadline for the party. But there is a shining hope: newly hired John Anderson, a recent graduate of an esteemed culinary arts academy. However, instead of being an asset to their team, it's soon discovered that he's clumsy and prone to causing calamity in the kitchen. But Ruth's fumbling new team member is the least of their worries. The reunion party ends as tragically as one of Von Hemmingsly's novels, and Ruth and Loretta find themselves in the middle of another mystery. When it is discovered that the victim was poisoned by Loretta's chocolate soufflé, Loretta is deemed the prime suspect. Will Ruth help her best friend prove her innocence? Or will their futures be as beyond repair as the dozens of cupcakes splattered on the kitchen floor? Shenanigans. Madcap fun. And murder. All wrapped up in this fun and quirky cozy mystery!
