A Batter of Life and Death (Bakeshop, Bk 2)
SierraK avatar reviewed on + 195 more book reviews


This is the second entry in Ellie Alexander's Bakeshop series. The setting, which is charmingly described, is Ashland, Oregon. Which happens to be the location of the Oregon Shakespeare festival. Lots of Shakespearean quotes in the book, which I enjoyed.

In this episode, a television baking competition called âTake the Cakeâ. Brings several out of town pastry chefs to Ashland to compete in the show. When tMarco, the celebrity chef on the show is murdered, our main character Jules just can't help trying to find the murderer.

In this second book, we get to know more about Jules and the other employees at Torte, the family bakesop. I like All these characters a lot and am looking forward to the next book in the series.
