Synopsis: The first book in the delicious new Emergency Dessert Squad Mystery series from national bestselling author Laura Bradford.

With her rent rising faster than her pie crust, bakery owner Winnie Johnson had hoped to be rescued by an inheritance from her wealthy friend and neighbor Gertrude Redenbacher. Instead all she inherits is the widow’s hostile hissing tabby, Lovey, and a vintage ambulance, restored by Gertrude’s late husband. As her dream crumbles, Winnie makes her final delivery—a peach pie to an elderly widower. But she finds Bart Wagner lying on his kitchen floor, smothered by a pillow.

To comfort her frightened and grieving neighbors, Winnie comes to the rescue with her baked goods—and an idea is born: dessert delivery via her ambulance and a new business called the Emergency Dessert Squad. When she’s not speeding to the scenes of dessert emergencies, Winnie is also racing to track down Bart’s killer—before she needs to call a real ambulance for the next victim…

Review: This is a fun and exciting start to a brand new cozy mystery series.  I've read and enjoyed the author's Amish Mystery series, so I was thrilled to get the chance to read and review this new book.

The idea of an ambulance which dispenses desserts to fit your mood was truly intriguing. Watching Winnie and her friends come up with ideas for treats while trying to solve the murder of her neighbor, made for a very entertaining read.

The story is well-written, the characters are well-developed, and the mystery keeps the reader guessing all the way to the final reveal. I look forward to getting to know the characters and seeing what sort of adventures they find themselves in as the series continues.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.**
