Catch Me If You Candy by Ellie Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun story to follow set at Halloween time. A guy dressed as a dragon gets offed. Looks like it all might be tied to a couple of dogs getting their 15 minutes of fame. For me the best part is Jules and her staff and all the things Jules makes in the kitchen. Just love these bakeshop mysteries.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy these Witch Way Librarian stories. Josie is hosting her sister, Jean who is in town to take a master class from a life coach named Cookie who is touting her Ready, Set, Go course for way more than Josie's family is comfortable with.. This causes a bit of conflict between the sisters plus their mom is telling Josie not to spill the beans about being a witch to her sister. This mystery was really good and following it was a pleasure. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Rarity is back and she has hired a coup!e of kids to take over some book clubs she is running. Unfortunately one of them ends up dead. It was easy to follow this mystery and even though I had no idea whoduit, I enjoyed the process unfold. Loved that Drew's father keeps showing up. He's a great addition to the cast along with her hiking guide boyfriend. These books never disappoint and I look forward to reading each one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy this series. Tourist Trap mystery is one of my all time favorites. I was sad to see not much Toby in this one or Jill's Aunt. But the whole concept of the story really keep me guessing and I enjoyed all the community interaction. Reading this series is always like coming home. I can't recommend it enough.

Pink Lemonade Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke

 

Pink Lemonade Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great read by Joanne Fluke. She never disappoints. This book features the death of a local boy who went to the big leagues but kinda got a bad reputation and he causes someone Lake Eden to off him when he was back to dig his glory in their faces. I totally missed Mike in this bookings he was considering designing from the police force and had a secondary storyline off camera. I am not sure how I would enjoy a Hannah Swensen book without him. But I have t to admit I am Team Norman all the way. Definitely a great story that was a bit of a page turner. Check it out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the interactions between the characters in this installment of the kitchen witch series. You can definitely see growth here as tough decisions have to be made by Mia and Christine. I enjoyed the wards and the complications there plus the secondary plotline. It all came together in a nice cozy mystery you just can't seem to get enough of.

I enjoyed this latest Deputy Donut mystery. Emily was investigating the murder of one of her new customers. The police chief was a bit untoward in this story and I had a hard time figuring out whodunit. Definitely a great story that keeps you guessing and turning the pages. Plus don't miss the sweet scene at the end

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed following the team in this book but it did seem to span a number of years which was different than other books in this series. I have been going through a lot of stuff in my life and the circumstances here helped me sort out things as the characters went through their trials. I did find this book to be a bit too long but I still enjoyed the read. Definitely a great series to follow.

Christmas Cookie Murder by Leslie Meier

 

My review: 4 stars

I enjoyed this book. It did freak me out a bit but my mindset has been on losing my dad so some things did trigger me but it helped me heal as I read what Lucy went through. It's funny how certain books can help your mind figure out movement forward in your life. It took me a minute to get into the book but like all of Leslie's books, it was a great read.

Christmas Dessert Murder by Joanne Fluke 20 & 23

My review 4 stars

This book contains two different Christmas stories: Christmas Caramel Murder and Christmas Cake Murder. One I had read where a gal died who was not a popularly and Lisa was a suspect. The other featured a cool historical perspective of past events in a woman's life and how Hannah and her friends figured it out. Both great stories I enjoyed.
