Book Description

Torte—the small-town bakeshop no one can resist—is hosting a midsummer night’s wedding . . . where merry-making and murder are served up in equal measure. Till Death Do Us Tart is Ellie Alexander's eighth delectable novel in the Bakeshop mystery series.

Jules Capshaw has too much on her plate—and she’s feeling the pinch: the whole town of Ashland, Oregon, is in on the surprise Elizabethan-themed wedding she’s planning for her mom and soon-to-be stepdad. But is her secret scheme half-baked? She’s hiding racks overflowing with sweet treats while Torte is topsy-turvy with a major remodel and the return of Jules’s estranged husband, Carlos. And until now, Jules had no clue about the bitter family feud that has her friend Lance frazzled and suspicious. But when a party crasher takes someone out with a serving of poisoned wine and Jules discovers the deadly cup was intended for her, it’s time to turn the tables on a killer.

My Review

Till Death Do Us Tart is the 8th book in the A Bakeshop Mystery series. I have read the entire series as I find it quite delightful and well written. Till Death Do Us Tart is a great addition to the series.

Ashland, Oregon is the setting for this series. Ashland is a unique town in southern Oregon that hosts a Shakespeare festival every year. Many parts of the town follow this theme. Author Alexander brings Ashland alive for the reader.

Till Death Do Us Tart is centered around the surprise wedding ceremony of Jules' mother and the Professor. Between the secret wedding, Carlos and his son showing up and the remodel of the bakeshop, things are already hopping when a guest is served poisoned wine. The guest who is served the wine is a PI hired by Jules friend Lance to help with his estranged family. Lots going on in this book!

Great book! It looks like the next book in the series is out at the end of the year! Yippee!
