"Clark has perfected the suspense novel."
—Booklist

New York Times bestselling author and mystery writer par excellence, Mary Jane Clark kicks off her delicious new Wedding Cake mystery series with To Have and To Kill. A tasty departure from her thrillers featuring KEY News television anchor Eliza Blake (Dying for Mercy, It Only Takes a Moment), To Have and To Kill introduces readers to actress-turned-wedding cake decorator Piper Donovan, who discovers that the heat in the pastry kitchen can be hotter—and deadlier—that she ever imagined...and that her creative new enterprise is anything but a piece of cake. Foodies and fans of cable TV's Amazing Wedding Cakes, as well as Faye Kellerman, Jayne Anne Krentz, and Diana Mott Davidson readers are going to eat this one up!

      Isabel Keating's smooth, rich voice and versatile delivery perfectly capture the characters in a new series that revolves around Piper Donavan, a struggling New York actress. Down on her luck in the acting world, Piper moves back in with her parents and helps her mother in her bakery, making wedding cakes while she works to solve the mysterious murder of a friend from her former soap series. Keating's portrayals of older women, especially Piper's mother, are especially good. The tonal differences for the other supporting characters make them distinctive and recognizable as well. Details of baking also lend interest. A.C.P. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      This fluffy first in a promising new cozy series from bestseller Clark (Dying for Mercy) introduces 27-year-old, down-on-her-luck actress Piper Donovan. After a painful breakup and too few acting gigs in Manhattan, Piper has returned home to Hillwood, N.J., where she's assisting her mother, Terri, at the family bakery, the Icing on the Cupcake. Piper is pleased to be preparing the cake for the upcoming wedding of her friend Glenna Brooks, the star of A Little Rain Must Fall, a daytime soap opera that Piper appeared in before her character was killed off. An actual murder, the cyanide poisoning of one of Glenna's A Little Rain Must Fall co-stars and her former lover, Travis York, threatens to derail the wedding. After further dangerously sticky developments, Piper confronts the surprising killer. Piper having to deal with Terri's macular degeneration lends some emotional weight.
