Another winner,
By Arkay (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death Takes the Cake (Della Cooks Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
Miss Wells second book in the Della Cooks mystery series is another winner. Because Della is portrayed as a "real" person and some accidents do occur in the kitchen (like pulling the mixer out of the basin before turning off the power - something I would probably do), even a non-cook like myself is encouraged to try some of the recipes noted in the book.
This story revolves around Della agreeing to take part in a cooking contest even though she knows the contest is sponsored by an old college acquaintance who had promised retribution for exposing a past offense. Old friends from the first book, Liddy and Bill, Shannon and Big John, Eileen and NDM together with Mickey and Iva Jordan make a reappearance in this book and round out the story. I for one hate having to wait another year for the next installment - The proof is in the pudding. Keep up the good work and write faster please, Melinda.

Death Takes The Cake is a "must read" for mystery lovers,
By myra Segal Morehouse (Depew, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death Takes the Cake (Della Cooks Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you love a good mystery - then you will love Death Takes The Cake by Melinda Wells. The characters in the book come alive as if they were actually real. The plot carries you through the book with anticipation and guessing who killed Reggie. Bravo! to Ms. Wells for the excellent writing. Too bad the highest rating score is only 5. It should be a 10. This is a must read for mystery lovers- and not only mystery lovers, but for anyone who loves to read. Awaiting the next Della book.

Quick read,

This review is from: Death Takes the Cake (Della Cooks Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
This author is a new read for me. The plot moved along and the characters were believable. It's a cozy so I was not expecting anything earth shattering in the writing department, but it was a good book none the less. I will buy more of her books in the future. I didn't try her recipes that are included in the book.
