For an author and teacher who has thirteen prior novels under her belt, I was vastly disappointed by Shelton's inexperienced writing and content in Sweet Masterpiece. The main character has enough on offer, or so you'd believe, as a government-sanctioned housebreaker/cleaner and a desserts chef with a home based business. The storyline feels plausible at first but quickly slides down a slippery slope of too many caricatures, not characters. You're left hanging as to the deaths and whereabouts of three people while Sweet runs errands, delivers pastries, and flirts with a local member of the police force. It's a mess. Not even cupcakes can save this one.
