 Evelyn David invites you to attend the wedding of Bridget O'Herlihy and Joshua Lasky. The ceremony will be held at the Willard hotel in Washington D.C. Please R.S.V.P. (In case of murder, the ceremony may be delayed.) It's the week before Thanksgiving and all's not right in Mac Sullivan's world. His detective agency needs paying clients; his goddaughter needs help staying alive long enough to say her "I do's;" his best friend needs to find some missing caskets; his Irish wolfhound needs a bath; and he desperately needs a how-to book on modern dating techniques. It's the week before Thanksgiving and all's not right in Rachel Brenner's world. Her son has ditched her for a ski trip with his new girlfriend; someone is stealing caskets and forging her inventory records; and her romantic life consists of hit-and-miss dates with a private detective who won't even commit to a car purchase much less a serious relationship. Weddings can be murder!

What others are saying... What do a sexy mortician, a feisty septuagenarian with a souped-up scooter, and an Irish wolfhound with a nose for murder have in common? They're all helping Washington DC p.i. Mac Sullivan find out who's trying to kill a very nervous bride-to-be. Smart, fast and laugh-out-loud funny, Murder Takes the Cake is another tasty treat from Evelyn David who takes readers on a merry chase from a turkey farm in Virginia all the way to Capitol Hill. And JJ, a goth computer expert, is one of the coolest characters I've met in years!
—Rosemary Harris, author of Pushing Up Daisies

Murder Takes the Cake is precisely what cozy mysteries are all about! Beautifully plotted, with a splendid cast of characters, this book is another highly entertaining read from Evelyn David.
—Jessica Conant Park, author of the Gourmet Girl mystery series

An endearing cast of characters will charm you in this clever and well-written mystery! Romance, suspense, a solid story and an adorable dog—Murder Takes the Cake is sweetly hilarious and a real treat.
—Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha Award winning author of Prime Time 

Murder Takes the Cake is another delicious treat from Evelyn David. All of our old friends are back--including Rachel, Mac, and of course, Whiskey--in this tale of murder and deception involving missing caskets, several dead bodies, and a wedding few want to take place. Mac Sullivan, a complicated protagonist with a canine best friend, is good at solving mysteries but not as adept in the romance department. Will Mac and Rachel make the relationship they've been dancing around a reality? But more importantly, will he be able to stay out of the line of fire, even as the body count rises? Evelyn David leaves me hungry for more books in this series!
—Maggie Barbieri, author of the Alison Bergeron mystery series.

Evelyn David’s newest Mac Sullivan/Rachel Brenner mystery, Murder Takes the Cake, sparkles with wit and don’t-see-‘em-coming plot twists—just what a wedding needs—along with a little murder and mayhem, of course! Irresistible fun!
—Jane K. Cleland, author of the Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery series, including Killer Keepsakes
