Review: Candy-Coated Conspiracy by Kaz Delaney

 

Every family has secrets, especially the sweet ones…

When talented baker Rosie Hart delivers cakes and cookies to her newest clients, The Sweet Treat candy store, she finds herself embroiled in yet another murder case. Will she ever catch a break?

Her elderly clients, The Percival sisters, are shocked when their long-lost great nephew appears with no warning. The sisters have never met nor heard of the man, but he’s family so they accept him with open arms. He immediately begins to tear up his aunts’ home, so when he turns up dead, Rosie feels only a sense of relief. Until she realizes the police suspect the sisters.

Rosie is as convinced of their innocence as she is of the deliciousness of her popular salted caramel cupcakes. But as the body count begins to rise and new secrets are unearthed, she begins to wonder if the sweet artisan candy makers are hiding more than their family recipes.
 
My Review:

Small town secrets.

The town of Hooper’s Corner has a secret; one that someone was willing to kill for.  Rosie Hart’s friends, Francine and Edith, were right in the middle of it as the deaths occurred on their property.  Now it’s up to Rosie to find the culprit before anyone else turns up dead.

I have really been enjoying this series and this book was a great addition to it.  I love the unpredictability of the stories.  In this book, we are introduced to some new characters in a neighboring town, to Airlie Falls, as Rosie tries to find the murderer before someone else is killed.  She also wants to clear the names of her friends.  This book was easy to read and the guilty party was a surprise.  I can’t wait to see what Rosie is up to in the next book.
