Gayle Trent is a ‘cozy mystery’ author whose work combines quirky characters like Daphne Martin with merriment and suspense for small town adventures in Murder Takes the Cake - the first book in the Daphne Martin Cake Decorating Mystery Series.

Yodel Watson was dead. And some people blamed my spice cake.

When the meanest gossip in Brea Ridge dies mysteriously, suspicions turn to cake decorator Daphne Martin. But all Daphne did was deliver a spice cake with cream cheese frosting–and find Yodel’s body. Now Daphne’s got to help solve the murder and clear her good name. Problem is, her Virginia hometown is brimming with people who had good reason to kill Yodel, and Daphne’s whole family is among them.

Murder Takes the Cake was a semi-finalist in Amazon.com’s Breakthrough Novel Award Contest.
