Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:“Gone with a Handsomer Man is fun, funny, and fabulous!”---Janet Evanovich Take one out-of-work pastry chef . . . Teeny Templeton believes that her life is finally on track. Shes getting married, shes baking her own wedding cake, and shes leaving her troubled past behind. And then? She finds her fiancé playing naked badminton with a couple of gorgeous, skanky chicks. Add a whole lot of trouble . . . Needless to say, the wedding is off. Adding insult to injury, her fiancé slaps a restraining order on her. When hes found dead a few days later, all fingers point to Teeny. And stir like crazy! Her only hope is through an old boyfriend-turned-lawyer, the guy who broke her heart a decade ago. But dredging up the past brings more than skeletons out of the closet, and Teeny doesnt know who she can trust. With evidence mounting and the heat turning up, Teeny must also figure out where to live, how to support herself, how to clear her name, and how to protect her heart. Michael Lee West has written a delicious new mystery with an unforgettable heroine. Review:"West's diverting debut plays nice variations on several mystery subgenres — Southern, romantic, screwball, culinary. Teeny Templeton, aspiring Charleston, S.C., pastry chef, is looking forward to her marriage to Bing Jackson, until she catches him playing nude badminton with a pair of lovely ladies. Teeny's throwing unripe peaches at the three results in an assault charge, probation, and a restraining order — problems that pale after Teeny finds Bing dead a few days later and she becomes the prime murder suspect. Distinctive characters include hunky lawyer Cooper O'Malley, who's attracted to Teeny; Bing's eccentric stepmother, Dora Jackson, who befriends Teeny; schemer Natalie Lockhart, one of Bing's badminton partners; and crass private detective Red Butler Hill. One of the book's best touches is the 'Templeton tradition' of concocting delicious recipes with lethal ingredients — a tradition that Teeny carries on with creations like 'You'll Get Yours Peach Icing.' Readers will look forward to more helpings of Teeny Templeton. Author tour. (Apr.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
