Synopsis

"Comical cakes," a satanic after-hours club, and a chilling serial killer...


Gourmet cook Angie Amalfi's newest culinary business, "Comical Cakes," is a roaring success, bringing joy to all with her whimsical, laugh-inducing confections. But there's nothing funny about the chilling case her homicide inspector boyfriend, Paavo Smith, is grappling with-a series of baffling murders seemingly rooted in satanic ritual.


When Angie is called upon to deliver a humorous cake to the enigmatic owner of a decadent after-hours Goth club, her gourmet curiosity plunges her into a world of dark intrigue.


At the same time, Paavo has a serious question on his mind-one that he hopes to ask Angie, if only she can find a moment in her chaotic cake-baking schedule to listen to him. As Paavo races against time to unmask a killer, Angie must use all her culinary wit to help solve the mystery before she becomes devil's food of a different kind.


With their lives and their future together on the line, Angie and Paavo must navigate a perilous path to uncover the truth. Will they catch the killer, or will Angie find herself iced... for good?


Note: This is a fully rewritten and reimagined rendering of an earlier mystery, Bell, Cook, and Candle.
