Description from the publisher:
When a Hollywood producer decides to make TV show based on Sabrina Daley's life, Treasure Cove's favorite amateur sleuth gets invited to watch the filming take place.  But when the producer is found murdered on the first day of filming, Sabrina tries to cut through the behind-the-scenes drama to catch the killer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
CUPCAKES WITH A SIDE OF MURDER is the tenth book in the Daley Buzz Cozy Mysteries series.  Though each cozy mystery will stand on its own, I recommend this series for family listening.

You can take Sabrina out of Treasure Cove, but even the bright lights of Hollywood won’t keep her out of a mystery.

On top of the who-dun-it, Sabrina is meeting her favorite star, Hope Hadley, who is playing her in the TV show based on Sabrina’s adventures and finding out what “based-on” means.  Her frustration levels may be high between the script and the suspects, but Sabrina is still a positive girl.  That’s one of the things I like about her.

It was fun having Hope and Sabrina working together on this cozy mystery.  Two of my favorite girl sleuths together.

Narration:  Shelby Lewis does a wonderful job of stepping in to narrate this Daley Buzz story.  It took some time for my ears to adjust to the new voice, but I found her voice pleasant.  She does struggle with editing – having repeated takes not edited out – but that will improve with experience.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
