This is the fourth book in the Sweet Baked Mystery Series by Katherine Hayton.

Holly and her sister, Crystal are looking to expand their business in a new location with better foot traffic. They ask to have some time to try out the space and while they are at a neighbor restaurant a bunch of people get poisoned and no one knows why.

I can’t really give more of a synopsis than that otherwise I’d ruin the entire story. This is a pretty short read and I thought really deserved a longer book. These characters are fun and I enjoyed the glimpse I got into their world. I thought the writing was nice too and it really kept my attention the entire way though. I was a bit confused about the love interest and whether Holly really thought Aiden to be her boyfriend. Felt like there was a lot of tension there. Since this was my first book in the series, I am sure there is some backstory I am missing.

Looking forward to reading more books in this series to be a better gist of what is going on in the lives of the Sweet Baked Mystery series regulars!


If you love cozy mysteries, definitely check this one out!
