5.0

I picked this one up completely from the title, and the dog on the cover did not hurt. I expected a perfectly decent culinary cozy with a little too much emphasis on the bakery, way too much social media, and not enough focus on the crime. I was mistaken, and in a good way. The book was a very entertaining murder mystery, with a touch of romance, just enough emphasis on the bakery and social media, and a solid friendship between the characters. The last quarter of the book are very much a thriller, and Baby is

shot

though he turns out to be okay.
