The Lexy Baker series is one of Leighann Dobbs’ longest-running and most popular. Killer Cupcakes (2012) introduced Lexy, a baker whose talent for pastry is matched by her knack for stumbling into murder investigations. The series ran to eighteen books through Thanksgiving Turkey Tragedy (2024).
The titles lean into baking wordplay: Dying for Danish, 3 Bodies and a Biscotti, Mummified Meringues, Brutal Brulee, Cream Puff Killer, and Ain’t Seen Muffin Yet. Each book combines a murder mystery with the culinary world of Lexy’s bakery.
