Sugar Coated Murder

Anne Varner, Karen Devanie

Booking Overview

A co-hosted true-crime and baking show, primarily featuring the hosts’ case coverage and recipes, with an occasional external guest who has a personal connection to a case. The clearest fit is a victim’s relative willing to share personal memories and discuss the victim’s life; booking difficulty appears moderate because the subject needs to closely match a specific case.
