Take one out-of-work pastry chef...


Teeny Templeton believes that her life is finally on track. She's getting married, she's baking her own wedding cake, and she's leaving her troubled past behind. And then? She finds her fiancé playing naked badminton with a couple of gorgeous, skanky chicks.


Add a whole lot of trouble...


Needless to say, the wedding is off. Adding insult to injury, her fiancé slaps a restraining order on her. When he's found dead a few days later, all fingers point to Teeny.


And stir like crazy!


Her only hope is through an old boyfriend-turned-lawyer, the guy who broke her heart a decade ago. But dredging up the past brings more than skeletons out of the closet, and Teeny doesn't know who she can trust. With evidence mounting and the heat turning up, Teeny must also figure out where to live, how to support herself, how to clear her name, and how to protect her heart.

      Vertically challenged, feisty, and fabulous "foodie" Teeny Templeton is charged with killing her fiancÄ after she catches him playing badminton naked with a couple of equally naked (and taller) playmates. This is just the beginning of a fun-filled romp, chock-full of Southern charm and memorable characters. Marguerite Gavin plays it to the hilt and delivers each character's Southern accent perfectly. Aunt Dora, the "pinkaholic" decorator; Coop, the handsome love interest; and Bing, the "man whore," are all beautifully presented. This is a hoot of an audio feast, not to be missed. A.C.P.

      West's diverting debut plays nice variations on several mystery subgenres—Southern, romantic, screwball, culinary. Teeny Templeton, aspiring Charleston, S.C., pastry chef, is looking forward to her marriage to Bing Jackson, until she catches him playing nude badminton with a pair of lovely ladies. Teeny's throwing unripe peaches at the three results in an assault charge, probation, and a restraining order—problems that pale after Teeny finds Bing dead a few days later and she becomes the prime murder suspect. Distinctive characters include hunky lawyer Cooper O'Malley, who's attracted to Teeny; Bing's eccentric stepmother, Dora Jackson, who befriends Teeny; schemer Natalie Lockhart, one of Bing's badminton partners; and crass private detective Red Butler Hill. One of the book's best touches is the "Templeton tradition" of concocting delicious recipes with lethal ingredients—a tradition that Teeny carries on with creations like "You'll Get Yours Peach Icing." Readers will look forward to more helpings of Teeny Templeton. Author tour.
