Summer Vacation Murder - Hollywood Whodunit, #9

She wants to spend her vacation soaking up the sun not swimming with sharks. Join Becky on her summer adventure as she attempts to solve two puzzling mysteries! A Hoax & a HexTell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the lie. What's a girl to do when she's swept up in a Hollywood courtroom drama with an over-the-hill lawyer and a defendant who claims innocence by hypnosis? Despite the implausible alibi, amateur sleuth Becky Robinson believes him.
The career criminal and notorious jewel thief has already been convicted in the press and the trial is nothing but a forgone conclusion. OBJECTION! Calling Perry Mason, Matlock, even the fake lawyer from Suits. Send help. Innocent until proven guilty. Becky must uncover whodunit before the state calls their next witness. Or will the real thief snap their fingers and cast a spell on the judge, jury, and executioner? A Patsy & a PastryMurder in a small town? That's how the cookie crumbles.
A rise in tourism is icing on the cake. After riding the coattails of her fellow detectives, Becky Robinson lands her first paying client. A bookstore owner believes her baker ex-husband is trying to kill her and hires Becky to prove it. Residents of the idyllic coastal town dismiss the claim as a work of fiction until a flour-covered skeleton sparks rumors of a conspiracy. The bakery can't sugarcoat this murder - they're caught bread-handed.
Knead not worry, Becky is undercover. Cooking skills? Nah, but she's an actress, she can fake it until she bakes it. Can Becky discover whodunit before it's too late? Or will another victim meet their baker?-----------------------------------Summer Vacation Murder is a bundle of two mysteries previously published in a summer spinoff series.
