Ellie Alexander's Bakeshop Mysteries will make readers hungry for baked goods with a side of murder. Here together for the first time are the first three books in the series. Meet Your BakerAfter returning to her hometown of Ashland, OR, Jules Capshaw helps heal her broken heart by working at Torte, the family bakeshop. But when the town busybody turns up dead in the store, Jules is drawn into a murder investigation between whipping up batches of her signature raspberry danishes. A Batter of Life and DeathAutumn has come to Ashland, and Jules and her team at Torte are prepping for the arrival of the Pastry Channel, which has chosen their town to film the current season of their reality show Take the Cake. When one of the contestants turns up dead, face-down in buttercream, Jules takes his place. She dusts off her best Bavarian Chocolate Cake recipe and gets ready to bake—and solve a murder. On Thin Icing Jules and her team from Torte have been hired to cater the annual retreat for the directors of the Oregon Shakespeare festivals at a remote mountain resort. Visions of hearty stews and orange cardamom rolls dance in her head, and she can't wait to get started. Then someone puts the (very irritating) bartender on ice, and Jules has to pull double duty in the kitchen, and figuring out whodunit.

J is for Jaffe: Wendell Jaffe, dead these past five years. Or so it seemed until his former insurance agent spotted him in the bar of a dusty little resort halfway between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz. In truth, the facts about Wendell Jaffe had nothing to do with my family history, but murder is seldom tidy and no one ever said revelations operate in a straight line. It was my investigation into the dead man's past that triggered the inquiry into my own, and in the end the two stories became difficult to separate. Five years ago, when Jaffe's thirty-five-foot Fuji ketch was found drifting off the Baja coast, it seemed a sure thing he'd gone overboard. The note he left behind admitted he was flat broke, his business bankrupt, his real estate gambit nothing but a huge Ponzi scheme about to collapse, with criminal indictment certain to follow. When the authorities soon after descended on his banks and his books, there was nothing left: Jaffe had stripped the lot. Given my insatiable curiosity and my natural inclination to poke my nose in where it doesn't belong, it was odd to realize how little attention I'd paid to my own past. I'd simply accepted what I was told, constructing my personal mythology on the flimsiest of facts. But Jaffe wasn't quite without assets. There was the $500,000 life insurance policy made out to his wife and underwritten by California Fidelity. With no corpse to prove death, however, the insurance company was in no hurry to pay the claim. Dana Jaffe had to wait out the statutory five years until her missing husband could be declared legally dead. Just two months before Wendell Jaffe was sighted in that dusty resort bar, California Fidelity finally paid in full.Now they wanted the truth. And they were willing to hire Kinsey Millhone to dig it up. As Kinsey pushes deeper into the mystery surrounding Wendell Jaffe's pseudocide, she explores her own past, discovering that in family matters as in crime, sometimes it's better to reserve jud
