This is the 1st book I read by Donna Doyle. I liked the food mentioned in the story 📖, it sounded delicious 😋. I'm sorry the rest of the story 📖 didn't interest me.

A quick read low on suspense or action.
A woman is murdered, the pudding-baking sleuth interviews some people, concludes whodunit and goes to tell the sheriff. The police apparently haven't done much investigating themselves.
The ending accuse-and-reveal scene is quite unrealistic, the final twist something the reader can't guess beforehand.
I did like that it was a clean read with decent characters, but a bit more mystery and drama would have spiced it up.

Baker pulled into a murder
Little did Sammy Baker know that providing cakes and learning to make Christmas puddings for a fund raiser was going to lead to being a murder investigator. This short clean read is a wonderful cozy mystery and a fun read complete with energetic grandmas cheering Sammy on, a skeptical policeman, and a marvelous cast of small town characters. Recommended for a little Christmas spirit pick me up.

Fun Christian Story
This wasn’t a long story, but was just long enough and not overly drawn out like some books. There is a character for every reader! I loved the different person, ages, and mindsets incorporated into the story. God is center stage, without over doing it. The characters rely on their faith in God, and are real, down to earth people.

Who is the killer?
Who killed Maureen? That is the question! Donna Doyle introduces all the suspects, and then leads us on a journey to decide who the murderer could be and why. Sammy, Helen and the Radical Grandmothers work together to solve this mystery. Read this book and discover who did it! Happy reading! 😊

Cute quick read. Didn’t realize it was a Christian series but luckily I’m not being beat over the head with it.
The characters are sweet and I love them. The story is entertaining.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I really like this series. I only gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 because I feel like it could have been a little longer than 80 pages long. I was going to binge read the entire series, but then I decided to read another few books from other series' that I began reading already, such as books from Wendy Meadows, Mildred Abbott, and Tee O'Fallon. However, as soon as I finish these books, I'll return to the Donna Doyle series Baker's Dozen Cozy Mysteries and finish the remainder of them. Good reading!

Pudding cakes
Very good story.I loved the characters. Seems all the good cozys have senior sleuths and a bakery. A good combination.

It was interesting to find out who the actual killer was. This was a quick read, but it wasn't as exciting as some of the other works by this author.

Definitely not a great series. There a strong bible-bashing theme throughout the book and the character development and story are not strong. I'll be abandoning this series.

This book was a quick read. Who killed Maureen was difficult to figure out and yet what is a mystery if
the answer is too easy.

Third installment of the Christian Cozy Mysteries: Bakers Dozen series. Very tame in language and action. Characters from the other books appear but overall can be read as a standalone.

Frustrated. Author did excellent job of explaining whodunit, but just sorta explained why. And there is NO explanation AT ALL about HOW! This is third one i’ve read. I truly enjoyed the others, but i am stymied here. Did i miss something? Please send me message if you remember reading this one.
