Customer Reviews

Another winner
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
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.

"Death Takes the Cake" a winner!
I have been waiting for the second book in Melinda Wells culinary mystery series for a long time. I was not disappointed!!
Della is three months into a new cooking show on TV.
She presents great recipes live on TV and for the audience.
But she has her hands full when her boss has a a "great" idea to have a Cake baking contest live on their show.
Of course, Della's nemesis from college, Regina, is sponsoring the contest using her box cake mix, which, by the way, is just awful.
When Regina is murdered, Della needs all the help she can get to solve this crime.
Della is one feisty gal. She has a quick mind, delicious recipes and friends I would love to have.
I am making her Dreamsicle cake for a treat where I work this week.
Look up the great recipes in the back of Ms. Wells's books.
Try them. I am. Her next book which I can't wait for is called,
"The Proof is in the Pudding" .
P.S. My co-workers loved the Dreamcicle cake!
