Spring, 1935 finds the little Alabama town of Darling excited about their new local radio station, WDAR. But there are problems brewing at the newspaper, where a trio of new hires causes headaches for editor Charlie Dickens. Thatâs not the worst of it, though, as the Dahlias discover when the newest resident at Bessie Bloodworthâs Magnolia Manor is found dead. She had overindulged in a large and very rich chocolate cakeâbut was something else baked into that cake? If so, one of the Dahlias is likely to find herself at the top of Sheriff Buddy Norrisâ suspect list. That would give Darling something to gossip about! And thereâs plenty more to keep the tongues wagging. Will the ladies at the new bakery ever learn to bake bread? Whatâs happening in Liz Lacyâs love life? Will her new book be a success? And can Voodoo Lilâs special brand of magic keep Violet Sims from taking Cupcake off to Hollywood to become a Shirley Temple look-alike? But amid all these mysteries, one thingâs for certain: the Darling Dahlias just keep growing.
