Brook Ridge Falls favorite bakery owner, Lexy Baker, has everything she ever wanted. A new husband she adores. A thriving bakery business. Everything is going great.

... Until a new bakery springs up across the street and tries every trick in the book to put her out of business!

Lexy smells something rotten about the bakery and it isn’t just their stale brownies. When her own bakery is broken into she knows who did it ... but what she can’t figure out is why.

Could the new baker be after her great-grandmothers prize winning scone recipe, or is there another more sinister reason?

Meanwhile ...

A grizzly discovery in the sewer system sends her and her gang of iPad toting grandmas off to solve a decades old crime under the streets of brook ridge falls.

Could a seventy year old crime be related to the new bakery?

5.0 out of 5 stars Four and a half star favorite thus far!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022

This story is total redemption from the series' previous title! The seniors are in fine form and full of their usual vitality, charm, and humor. The mystery-solving is fun to follow and, although the miscreants are obvious, the details of the "why" really add to the story. It's surprising that Lexy is basically a rather childishly petulant sidekick to the series named for her, but I've really been enjoying these clean cozies!

The series today is consistently good. They are short, easy reading and hard to put down. There are usually good recipes at the end of each book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021

This was another fun read in the Lexy Baker series. The series sort of reminds me of the Nancy Drew series, except that instead of her grandmother and her friends to sove cases, Nancy depends on her two sidekicks, Bess and George. This book was different in that no-one gets killed -- Lexy and friends solve a decades old murder(s) and a bank robbery. It is a light, suspenseful read that will keep you guessing. I a;so like the fact that the book does not contain any swearing, unlike so much of today's fiction.

I think this story was my favorite in the series, it contained more drama than is customary, more about the ladies than the love life which I liked. Tired of Lexy being worried if her love interest is going to give her grief for getting involved. No woman in this age would let that happen so the story is taking a turn for the better I think. Anyway. as always, these stories are fun to read and time slips much to fast when your involved with the characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite story in the series, but still a good series to read
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015

I've read the previous books in the Lexy Baker series prior to reading "Scones, Skulls, & Scams." This has been my least favorite book in the series. The story itself seemed a bit scattered. I wasn't a fan of Caraleigh. There was mention of Caraleigh's brother, Harvey, but he had very little (practically no) involvement in the story. Each book in the series has been light, cute, and a super quick read. I would call the series "mind candy" - no blood or gore, no heavy thinking, no crazy twists, just silly and fun sleuthing. The story is far fetched, predictable, and a little corny, but that's what makes it fun. Nans and her geriatric pose's always add a bit of silliness and fun to each story. This is a great series if you are looking for a quick read while you are on the go, a day at the beach, a rainy weekend, any time you just need a fun light story.

The lexi Baker mystery series have not let me down yet.The storyline is not heavy hitting and is an easy enjoyable read.There is never loads of twists and turns to get confused with whats going on so never expect to get bogged down, but there is always enough going on to want to finish the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very light read!
Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2014

I enjoy reading cozy type mysteries because they don't take too much brain power. This fit nicely into the category. It's probably not a book you could read as a stand alone from the rest of the series because the author alludes to things that happened in her other books without too much explanation. Not a problem for me because I tend to read a whole series if I like the first one read.
