A Crime of Passion Fruit
A Crime of Passion Fruit | Ellie Alexander
18 posts | 13 read | 9 to read
Torteeverybodys favorite small-town family bakeshopis headed for the high seas, where murder is about to make a splash. . . Jules Capshaw is trying to keep her cool as Torte gets set to make its transformation from quaint, local confectionary caf to royal pastry palace. Meanwhile, Juless estranged husband Carlos is making a desperate plea for her to come aboard his cruise ship and dazzle everyone with her signature sweets. She may be skeptical about returning to her former nautical life with Carlos but Jules cant resist an all-expense-paid trip, either. If only she knew that a dead body would find its way onto the itinerary . . A warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly and likable main characters, and a nasty murder mystery to solve! Fresh Fiction Now, instead of enjoying tropical drinks on deck between whipping up batches of sea-salted chocolates and flambing fresh pineapple slices in the kitchen, Jules is plunged into dangerous waters. Her investigation leaves her with more questions than answers: Why cant anyone on board identify the young woman? And how can she help Carlos keep passengers at ease with a killer in their midst? Jules feels like shes ready to jump ship. Can she solve this case without getting in too deep? A perfect mix for fans of Jenn McKinlay, Leslie Budewitz, or Jessica Beck. Library Journal

I have no idea why my reading has been color coordinated these past few days. Such a weird coincidence!😂
This is book #6 in the Bakeshop Mystery Cozy Series and you know I‘m giving this a 5-star rating. Ellie Alexander is a great author. I love reading her work. It gives my brain a mental workout figuring who the murderer is but it‘s also very engaging. Love her & the book!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

#FebruaryFeels #passion

Choosing this entry in one of my favorite cozy mystery series for today‘s prompt as I have a passion for cozies, cooking & punny titles. I am a fan of passion fruit (aka lilikoi here) too.

Butterfinger I need a title with a pun. 5y
DebinHawaii @Butterfinger Check our this author & her Bakeshop series—most of the titles are food/baking puns. 😆 5y
Eggs Did you bake this? Looks amazing 😋 5y
DebinHawaii @Eggs No! I‘m not that talented! 😆I found the photo online. 5y

So I popped into my local thrift store to discover a shelf full of cozy mysteries in perfect condition for only $1 each! Needless to say I bought 12 plus 2 other books I couldn‘t resist 😉😄 #cozymystery #bookhaul

Perfect weather to pick up "A Crime of Passion Fruit" again! (The only thing that would make it better would be a fun, tropical drink!) #acrimeofpassionfruit #elliealexander #bakeshopmysteries #julescapshaw #foodiemysteries #cozymysteries

Been a crazy week so this was a slower read for me but I enjoyed it all the same. The new location was fun but I missed some of the characters who stayed home. Just finished this before we went to the airport for my hubby to do his first flying lesson. ✈️💕#ilovecozies #cozymystery

janeycanuck Hahaha - what a great title! 7y

It's a dreary, dreary day, so I'm trying to pep it up with a visit to Torte, and two of my other favorite things - including a thematically-appropriate LaCroix. 😂 #acrimeofpassionfruit #elliealexander #julescapshaw #bakeshopmysteries

Yes, I know I posted 🥑🍞last night for a review but it was actually consumed a couple of days ago & I wanted it again.😋🍴I was going to read more of this culinary cozy with my toast & cold brew before getting to work at my coffeeshop office but I got caught up in looking at all the favorites you've been posting for my #debsstack Litsyversary 📚stack giveaway. So fun and the perfect way to start my morning! Thanks for all the #Litsy love! ❤️❤️❤️
