The Teeny Templeton series by Michael Lee West features a Southern baker who keeps getting pulled into murder investigations in Charleston, South Carolina. Gone with a Handsomer Man (2011) kicks things off when Teeny arrives in town looking for a quiet life and instead becomes the prime suspect in a homicide. Romance and danger follow her in equal measure.
A Teeny Bit of Trouble and A Teeny Taste of Scandal continue the pattern, each delivering a new mystery for Teeny to solve while she manages her love life and her baking. The books have a breezy, fun tone that fans of cozy mysteries appreciate, and West’s Southern humor gives the series its own distinct flavor. The playful titles match the lighthearted spirit of the stories themselves.
