Ashley Adams is settling back into her life in Seagrass, TX after leaving a broken heart and criminal ex-boyfriend in Paris, France. Her French sweets catering company has finally landed a major job, making Ashley grateful for all that is going right – her business, her work partnership, and reconnecting with an old friend Ryan.

All that changes when Ashley overhears one of the guests arguing with a strange man in the bathroom. Things get worse when the woman is found dead the next day, poisoned by one of Ashley’s cream puffs.

Ashley must solve the mystery to save the reputation of her nascent business. She is thrust into the lives of people from her past who all have something to hide. Is the murderer a jealous lover? An out-of-towner with business interests? A local hero turned criminal? Teaming up with her old friend Ryan and her loyal dog Dizzy, Ashley sets out to solve the crime.

Will she be able to solve the murder before her business reputation is completely ruined?

Beware, Christians!

Upon reviewing Sandi Scott, I was under the impression she was a Christian. However, after start to read this book, I don't think she is. When reading a book by a Christian author, I don't expect to come upon profanity. Well, low and
behold this is another "Christian" author who prefers to use everyday "world" language in this book. Needless to say,
I did not finish the book and will not be reading any more books by Sandi Scott!

A fun easy read.

Ashley Adams, the owner of French pastry Seagrass Sweets and her partner Patti, the owner of the French cuisine company The Southern Bird are catering the Gulf Coast Women's Club function, the next day (Colleen) one of the patrons body is discovered in the restroom, and the only thing she had eaten was one of Ashley's pastries. Which cause people to avoid her pastries at the next function.
Colleen had an argument with an unknown man at the function over emails, rumors of an affair with her boss, and rumors her boss is ill. Along with a community trying to keep their area free from land developers. Are any of these reason to want Colleen dead?
This is my first Sandi Scott story which I greatly enjoyed, and will be getting the next in the series. There is no violence, profanity or sexual innuendo in this story.

Creamer Puff Murder

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2018

I’ve had this book a while and just pulled it out . It was fun and exciting running around with Ashley and Rysn and Patty trying to solve another murder. Ashley is the pastry caterer. Her creampuffs and several other pastries were part of a big luncheon for women’s convention and she noticed some weird things going on when she was in the ladies room and heard an argument between a woman and a man she knew the woman talking didn’t know the man. And then after the event she went back to pick up some baking pans that she left in the kitchen and the police asked her what she was doing there and she said she was picking up the pans. Then she went to the ladies room and found something in the stall when she went to use the restroom she took her tongs and picked the shiny broken object up, from the toilet and it was a cell phone all crushed and mutilated she put it between the pans with the tongs and left. She then asked her techie friend Ryan she to help her to see what was on this phone because Colleen and the man have been talking about an email that they wanted to be kept secret well anyway they keep asking questions to different people and to help the police because Mr McCay a big business man was going to sell his land to a hotel but another man wanted the land to use for fracking. That would mess up the ecosystem of the area. There were some funny things especially with Ashley’s dog Dizzy, that makes you chuckle when you read and hear about her antics it’s a very fun read, exciting make you curious about the nature of people and your imagination can run away and they’re talking about the different menus they come up with the specialty barbecue from smoky daddy lee. This a good book but I wish some of the recipes were included at the end of the book.

Cream Puff Murder is the inaugural book in the A Seagrass Sweets Cozy Mystery by Sandi Scott. I love reading the works of “new to me” authors that are well written, with developed characters, clever, tightly woven plots, realistic situations and interesting settings. The reader is introduced to Ashley Adams who has returned to the Gulf coast Texas town of Sweetgrass. She owns Sweetgrass Sweets, a French dessert catering company. Patty, her friend and kitchen partner, originally met while working together at a restaurant in Paris. Patty specializes in French cuisine and owns the Southern Bird catering company. They work together to cater a luncheon at a private club. Ashley is asked to serve the dessert to the speaker's table first because of health concerns for Bobby McCay. The next morning McCay's trusted assistant, Colleen, is found dead in the ladies’ room. The Sheriff believes she was poisoned with by one of Ashley's cream puffs. Will Ashley find the real killer before her business is destroyed? The next morning McCay's trusted assistant, Colleen, is found dead in the ladies’ room. The Sheriff believes she was poisoned with by one of Ashley's cream puffs. Will Ashley find the real killer before her business is destroyed? The plot is clever and portrays a problem which is relevant in many communities. To relate much more would spoil the plot. Twists, turns, and surprises abound holding the readers interest. This book can be read as a stand-alone. All the elements expected in a classic cozy mystery are included. The recipes at the end of the book sound delicious! I enjoyed reading this book and I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Great start to series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2017

Ashley Adams, an ex computer techie, decided to change careers and trained as a baker instead. Teaming up with her good friend Patty, they opened a catering company, offering French cuisine and desserts. Her new company was a huge hit, especially in small town Seagrass, where exotic food was non existent. All was going well until one of the guests at the event that the girls were catering for, is poisoned and dies after eating one of Ashley’s cream puffs. Ashley is fastidious about hygiene especially around her kitchens so she knows it was not her food, more likely, something that was introduced into her food. But the public are not so forgiving and unless she can prove her innocence, people will stop using her catering company for their events......

A great start to the series, lots of fun, red herrings and twists to keep me guessing. I enjoyed this very much and look forward to Sandi’s next book.

I am grateful for the author who offered me this book as a freebee. The main characters are Ashly who has recently moved back to her home town to set up a business making desserts and biscuits. Selling her creations online and but mainly at outside catering events with her friend Patty's who does the starters and the mains. It was at one of these events when someone falls in and dies after eating one of Ashley's desserts. Ashley is devastated and given the cold shoulder by her small community, which turns to cancelled orders. Ashley decides to try and find there murder with the help of a long term friend Ryan, from her past, to solve the case. If you are looking for something quick and easy to read this is the one for you. It is what I would class as a cozy mystery, with interesting characters.

"Comfort food"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2019

These cozy mysteries with baking as a theme are popular. Heaven know's why. The story line itself stands up to scrutiny. The main characters could have been involved in any line of work. Television is swamped with cookery shows at present. When the spotlight shifts from the kitchen and moves to, say the garage repair shop I can see our intrepid amateur female sleuth in overalls and a slick of grease on her cheek. It's cliched and contrived now. Time to be more imaginative.

A great new book from Sandi Scott.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2017

I think that this will be the start of a great new series.
We have Ashley Adams, rather raw and broken hearted after a horrible break up from a real scum bag. The last thing she needs is for people to believe that food from her brand new venture, in her home town, was responsible for the death of a local woman.
Watching her investigate, with the help of her friends, was fascinating.
I look forward to reading more.

Nice easy read! (No plot spoilers!)

So this is just a nice easy read. A lovely little story, if a bit predictable. But perfect for holiday reading. Will read the rest in the series. 💜💜💜
