Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!

“Ahhh, I get it now,” Greg said. “You live on Serenity Lane.”

Synopsis
The first book in the delicious new Emergency Dessert Squad Mystery series from national bestselling author Laura Bradford.
With her rent rising faster than her pie crust, bakery owner Winnie Johnson had hoped to be rescued by an inheritance from her wealthy friend and neighbor Gertrude Redenbacher. Instead all she inherits is the widow’s hostile hissing tabby, Lovey, and a vintage ambulance, restored by Gertrude’s late husband. As her dream crumbles, Winnie makes her final delivery—a peach pie to an elderly widower. But she finds Bart Wagner lying on his kitchen floor, smothered by a pillow.
To comfort her frightened and grieving neighbors, Winnie comes to the rescue with her baked goods—and an idea is born: dessert delivery via her ambulance and a new business called the Emergency Dessert Squad. When she’s not speeding to the scenes of dessert emergencies, Winnie is also racing to track down Bart’s killer—before she needs to call a real ambulance for the next victim…

Yeah! A new cozy I’ll be reviewing next month. And this time it’s the first in the series. LOL
I’m sure many of you know I jump into a series anywhere. Kind of nice to start at the beginning for a change and not have to go backwards.
Catchy title and fun cover. To quote Tweety Bird, “I tawt I taw a putty tat!”
