Our favorite Sheriff and deputy are back!
Sweet as honey, soured by murder!
Everyone in Cottonwood loves the new bakery, Sweet Shop. Until a Cottonwood resident is found dead with a half-eaten donut in her hand.
Sheriff Kenni Lowry has her hands full. With a new murder in town and a new deputy to train, she’s not sure if she’s ever gonna get this booger solved.
Sheriff Elmer Sims comes to the rescue, stepping up as Kenni’s ghost deputy. As the ex-dead-now-ghost deputy and Kenni’s Poppa, there’s clues beyond the sprinkles in the donut that only he can see.
Add to Kenni’s stress, Finn Vincent’s, Kenni’s hunky boyfriend and new sheriff of Clay’s Ferry, parents have come to town to meet Kenni and her parents. And Kenni’s mama ain’t too happy. As they say in the South, nobody’s happy if mama ain’t happy.
With Poppa’s keen insight and Kenni’s determination, Kenni focuses all her attention on bringing the killer to justice before the yeast rises and another dead body turns up.
Save room for dessert. You don’t want to miss this Southern mystery!
Review:
This is book 7 in the series, and it is still as enchanting as book 1 was! Tonya really knows how to set her characters apart, and make them so irresistible, that you can't help to read a new book in 1 sitting, and beg for more when you finish! Plus she knows her way around simple mysteries that can boggle the mind. Add in some good old North vs South family differences and human foibles, and you have a book perfect for Spring reading at the ball field, while waiting on the kids (just be prepared to explain all your laugh out loud moments, as the book has plenty!).
My only quibble was the ending and the changes to Kenni and Finn's work relationship. A bit too disneyana for me, and I would have preferred to see Kenni stay in the strong female leader role, with Finn working FOR her, instead of having Finn assuming what is supposed to be an equal role, but really is a better one than hers. To me it changed the whole dynamic that was different for this series. So for me it ended on a bit of a sour note, and I'm not sure if I'll keep reading the series, as that was what had drawn me to it. SIGH, I know writers can't please everyone....
