In Cupcakes and Corpses, B. I. Skinner whips up a deliciously twisted small-town mystery that starts with buttercream frosting and ends with cold-blooded murder. Pine Hill’s first-ever Cupcake Showdown is underway, and Joelle Carter is just trying to enjoy the festivities—sweet treats, local bakers, and a peaceful afternoon. That is, until a contestant drops dead face-first into a triple chocolate fudge masterpiece.

The entire town is stunned, but Joelle’s instincts kick in fast. The cause of death? Poison. The suspect list? Longer than the bake-off’s entry form. From cutthroat competitors to jealous exes, it seems everyone had a reason to want the victim out of the competition—and out of the picture entirely.

With cupcake chaos in full swing, Joelle must navigate small-town gossip, secret recipes, and a web of sugary lies. The clues are as layered as a red velvet cake, and every twist reveals a darker filling. As Joelle gets closer to the truth, it becomes clear that someone will do anything to keep their secrets from being exposed—even if it means turning up the heat.

Skinner delivers another binge-worthy mystery filled with charm, sass, and a killer plot. Fans of cozy mysteries, culinary whodunits, and strong female sleuths will savor every bite of this page-turner.
