It has been over a week since Mark Wilcox was murdered. Not only is the killer still at large, but a panic has taken hold of the idyllic small town of Treasure Cove. Will Sabrina find a way to catch Mark's killer, or will this case go cold?
This is the first book in the Mysteries of Treasure Cove series. If you like pause-resisting cozy mysteries featuring a picturesque coastal setting, plenty of twists and turns, and a witty sleuth, then this is the book for you.

Story
Some cases hit close to the bone. For amateur sleuth Sabrina Carlson, this is one of them. In Sabrina's mind, missing-persons investigations are always the hardest. Mostly because they remind her of losing her sister years before. If fighting off flashbacks of her sister's death isn't bad enough, this current case is one of the most difficult of Sabrina's career. After all, Claire Blakely didn't just disappear without a trace. She also didn't have any enemies. In addition, as far as Sabrina can tell, there are no leads to work with.

A new mystery for Sabrina to investigate..........
Murder and Layer Cake featured Sabrina and her husband David, the stars of Meredith Pott's original cozy mystery series, The Daley Buzz, but this book takes place 10+ years after the events of that series. For those readers not familiar with Sabrina and David, Murder and Layer Cake can easily be read as a standalone. David is a homicide detective in the small town of Treasure Cove, and his wife Sabrina acts as his consultant whenever he is investigating a murder. This story starts one week after the murder of Treasure Cove resident Mark Wilcox, and Sabrina is afraid that this will be her first unsolved case. Before the case can go cold, one of Mark's friends commits suicide and leaves a note confessing to the murder. However, Sabrina's instincts tell her to keep investigating. Of course, Sabrina triumphs in the end, and the real murderer is brought to justice. As with all cozy mysteries, while the mystery is entertaining, it is the wonderful interaction between the main and side characters that keeps readers returning to a series. Potts delivers both the mystery and the characters with every book.
Carrie Burgess does her usual terrific job with the narration. Having her narrate all of Sabrina and David's books really helps with the transition between books, and she is the perfect choice for Sabrina's take charge personality. The team of Potts and Burgess is a winning one.

Another winner!!!!!!
Another great book. Now Sabrina is married with a daughter but she still has time to help David with cases. I love the Treasure Cove series. My only negative thing i can say about this book is i wish it was longer. The narrator did a great job.
As always, i look forward to listening to more i this series.

This is a cozy mystery - you get dropped in right after the murder and it's a quick three hour listen but fun along the way.

Who doesn't like Cake?
I listened to this book while hunting for White Tail deer in Alberta, and I gotta say, Merediths Potts book was pretty darn entertaining. Carrie Burgess voice has a way of keeping me invested in the story, even when I'm freezing in a deer stand. More murder and more cake please!

Murder and Layer Cake
A short little cozy mystery with some familiar characters. When I first started listening I didn’t realize that Sabrina was the same Sabrina from the Daly Buzz series. It was nice to reconnect with the characters, but you certainly don’t have to have read the other series to enjoy this one.

A continuation!
Oh, Sabrina, married to David, and with a daughter! Still sleuthing, still brave and witty, and still at Treasure Cove!
And we know quite a bit about the characters in this book, so it's easy to understand them and follow the plot.
Another nice and quick listen, ideal for the lovers of the genre.
And the reading was great, too.

not bad for series starter
I have to admit I read/listened to book 1 in the other series Meredith Potter first introduced this series and well didn't like it at all and the narrator was awful. I am so glad she revised this series made the characters a bit more personable and used a different narrator. I still do not care for the way they interrogate suspects and they are still a bit rude but this is a real improvement.

Not sure what I was expecting
It was an okay read, didn’t really care about character all that much. It was really short so I didn’t spend too much time on it
And it was over quick. I believe this is a series and don’t plan on continuing.

An enjoyable read
My first read/listen from author Meredith Potts, although I own several of her books I’d never gotten around to reading one. This is it. A cute, well-written clean cozy mystery. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018)
