When Emory finds a body aboard the yacht, she needs to discover who iced the victim before the Scrooge ruins not only her livelihood but her freedom as well.

Ms. Davis is such an outstanding storyteller. Everyone has known or dealt with a bully in our lives so it is so easy to identify with Carrie and Emory and what they felt dealing with Blair, so that draws you into the story right away. After that, the author pulls you in even tighter with the murder and then you find you just can’t put this book down. ~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book

Oh, what fun it is to follow the tasty trail of cookie crumbs mixed expertly from page to page in this entertaining story! Author Davis is a master at her storytelling craft, and readers will be satisfied with the wrap-up of this Christmastime tale. ~Chatting About Cozies
Kim Davis has definitely drawn me in with this second book of hers that I’ve read… and I’ve already gotten copies of the first few in this series. I’m plotting out when to read them throughout the next three months so that I’m fully caught up when her 2022 release is published. ~This Is My Truth Now
Kim’s writing style is very entertaining, descriptive, and with dialogue that solicited lots of emotions. The murder investigations requires “all hands on deck,” with Emory having to deflect accusations, navigate roadblocks of lies and secrets, weed through untrustworthy persons of interest, and recover from perilous predicaments. But, Kim always adds those personal stories beyond the cozy mystery with a bit of romance, a bit of friendship, and a lot of cupcakes and cookie talk. ~Kathleen Costa, Kings River Life Magazine
Buttercream Betrayal
Available on Amazon
Intent on getting their two mischievous dogs under control, Emory Martinez and her half sister, Vannie, join a group dog training program led by Shawn Parker. With a graduation certificate just within grasp and a party to celebrate their hard-won achievements, what could go wrong? For starters, their two dogs have decided to wreak havoc during the party and tempers flare. It turns out not everyone is pleased with the dog trainer and his mother, the condo association president. Whispers of the mother and son’s misbehavior, or worse, fly amongst the barks, whines, and growls of the canines.
When Emory finds the body of Mrs. Parker amidst an explosive situation, it becomes apparent there might be more truth to the whispers instead of just gossip. Could one of the canine-loving participants be responsible? Or was it an outsider who hated her heavy-handed rule over the condo homeowners? Emory, Vannie, and octogenarian Tillie must sift through the clues to find out who has been betrayed and who has decided to take justice into their own hands.
Recipes included!
