"Dr. Bree Watson (aka Gabriella Catherine Mayfield-Watson) is comfortable solving chemistry problems. She isn't comfortable finding her boss dead and being a suspect in his poisoning. Now she's juggling: A sexy marketing manager--who may, or may not--be a contract killer; a handsome lead detective whose interest goes beyond the case; the dead man's cranky cat; a goose-chasing dog in hot water with an animal rights group; the search for the perfect cupcake recipe; and, of course, someone who wants her out of the picture."--Page [4] of cover.

Bree is a chemist who comes back from a company trip to find her boss dead from poison and herself as the main suspect. It's always made sense that a character would have a stake in solving the mystery quickly if they are a suspect, so this is the most obvious setup (plot-wise) ever.
It's interesting to have a protagonist who is a scientist (yay for women in STEM!) and perfectly capable of solving chemistry problems as long as it's not the romantic type. Nothing actually happened except maybe setting the path for a future love triangle.
However, it will have to proceed without me since this book didn't really do anything for me. It was nice to read but not in a “cancel all my appointments and sleep” way. The recipes at the end were a nice touch.
