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. Thatās not the worst of it, though, as the Dahlias discover when the newest resident at Bessie Bloodworthās Magnolia Manor is found dead. She had overindulged in a large and very rich chocolate cakeābut was something else baked into that cake? If so, one of the Dahlias is likely to find herself at the top of Sheriff Buddy Norrisā suspect list. That would give Darling something to gossip about! And thereās plenty more to keep the tongues wagging. Will the ladies at the new bakery ever learn to bake bread? Whatās happening in Liz Lacyās love life? Will her new book be a success? And can Voodoo Lilās 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 thingās for certain: the Darling Dahlias just keep growing.
