About this ebook

Two retirees. Bread pudding. And a dead surfer.

Starlight Ridge’s first annual surfing competition is right around the corner when retired sisters, Jo and Dorothy Darby, finally get settled into their new bakery. Not willing to miss out on the fun, they, along with the rest of the town, close up shop for the day to support their local surfing champion, Isaac Larson. Foam fingers included. But when Isaac’s arch-rival is flung off his board and never resurfaces, the competition grinds to a halt. Upon recovering the body, the local doctor discovers the fall was no accident. The man has been murdered. And all eyes are on Isaac as the culprit.

The town naturally turns to the Darby sisters to discover what really happened, considering the sisters’ history of solving murders, and expects them to exonerate their local hero.

Hesitant, Jo and Dorothy take on the seemingly impossible task. If they can’t discover who the real murderer is, though, a canceled surfing competition will be the least of Isaac’s problems, and the sisters will bear the town’s blame for it.

Poison and Pudding is the second book in the Seaside French Patisserie Mystery series. If you enjoy small towns, quirky characters, and unusual murders, you’ll love this cozy mystery.

Very fun! This book centered around sisters, and there were interesting parallels about what they would or would not do for each other. I enjoyed the surfing, the sleuthing and the shenanigans. I really like that the characters are flawed and things don’t always go right for them (and they don’t always get along) because it makes these cozy mysteries so much more realistic than others I’ve read. They’re also clean, which I love. So far, I’ve liked both books a lot and am excited to read more.

Poison and Pudding is a fun, beach, surfing, cozy mystery. I really love French pastries so I love that the Darby sisters run such a bakery! I love that Jo and Dottie are older. Such a refreshing change from 20 to 40 year olds. This well plotted book is a fascinating look at surfing. Jo is determined to meddle to help clear Isaac’s name and drags Dottie along in her sleuthing. There were plenty of twists to keep me guessing. I love catching up with characters from the first Starlight Ridge series. I can never put down one of Ms. Bellemore’s books!

About the author

Kat Bellemore is a small town romance and cozy mystery author. Deciding to have New Mexico as the setting for two of her series was an easy choice, considering its amazing sunsets, blue skies and tasty green chile. That, and she currently lives there with her husband and two cute kids. They hope to one day add a dog to the family, but for now, the native animals of the desert will have to do. Though, Kat wouldn't mind ridding the world of scorpions and centipedes. They're just mean.
