My name's Annie Graceland. Things you should know about me: I’m a Midwesterner living in L.A. I run my own baking business. I talk to dead people. I’m finally dating again but my BFFs say I dress like I’ve been dumpster diving. They drag me to Snotsky’s Department Store sale where I’m ‘helped’ by Edith Flowers – the meanest sales lady in the world. When someone meaner than Edith kills her off she haunts me, following me from the Ladies Lingerie department to 'Cocktail Attire' nagging me to bring her murderer to justice.

My name’s Annie Graceland. Three things to know about me: I’m a Midwesterner living in L.A. I run my own baking business. I talk to dead people and I figure out who murdered them. When Mom signs me up to be a judge at Wisconsin's Hometown Guy Contest, I picture traveling home for the 4th of July weekend to Oconomowoc for some fun in the sun and catching up with old friends. I don’t picture some idiot murdering Oconomowoc’s ‘Hometown Guy.’ Don’t picture Frank Plank haunting me to catch his killer. Definitely don’t picture being up to my twitchy eyeballs investigating pageant suspects, fending off former high school boyfriends, or discovering the local detective's been crushing on me for years. How dicey can this trip home get?

And much to her dismay, they also talk to her—nagging her incessantly to solve their murders. Annie’s former college boyfriend, Mack ‘The Man’ McManus asks to ‘friend’ her on Facebook. Should she accept his request? She’s getting divorced and is happily dating a hot guy—Detective Raphael Campillio. But it’s been years and Mack doesn’t even live in the same town. What could possibly go wrong? She says yes... Unfortunately, Mack has NO boundaries. He stalks her on FB, sending her photos and non-stop messages. He shows up unexpectedly at her work—he’s in town for a Used Car Convention, and expects her to show him the town, re-kindle their romance—and he won’t take no for an answer! When Mack is murdered in a manner fitting his profession, his befuddled ghost materializes at Annie’s apartment and won't leave her side. It’s up to Annie, her BFFs Grady and Julia, and her arch nemesis—the ghost of Dr. Derrick Fuller to solve Mack’s murder, and send him to the light before her Annie’s mother arrives in town for Thanksgiving. Cupcakes, Diaries, and Rotten Inquiries is written in a Dear Diary ‘Bridget Jones’ style, as the characters reveal their private thoughts, hopes, dreams, and naughty desires. Will Annie and her friends solve the crime before she loses what little remains of her sanity?
