It's the break they need to expand the business. But the day goes from bad to worse to murder when a man plummets to his death from one of the hot air balloons. The operator swears the man jumped out on his own. The man's family insists he wouldn't have killed himself. Isabel finds herself in the middle of the investigation again, but more is at stake than she realized. Especially when someone delivers a threat into the hands of one of the people Isabel loves the most. Gum Drop Dead is the third book in Emily James' Cupcake Truck Mysteries.
