The second "sweet [and] deadly"* Candy Shop mystery.
No one's happy when wealthy Felicity Asbury names herself director of the local arts festival. But when she's found dead, all evidence points to candy shop owner Abby Shaw, who must put aside her sweets to discover the twisted killer.

Summary: Darn Good
Comment: My first of her books, and not the last. She's one of the better cozy writers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a great mystery
Comment: The author has given another installment from Abby Shaw and her candy shop. I love this style of murder mystery--not too much blood and guts--This third book introduces some new characters and brings back the familiar ones. Could it be that Abby will finally end up with that policeman beau after all? Looking forward to the next installment of murder--candy style.

Summary: Good to read, not a keeper
Comment: The mystery is good but I do find the main character to be somewhat annoying. She goes on and on about how her brother resents the fact that she left town after high school. Isn't that what kids are supposed to do? She is much too nice to the cousins that think they should have a say in the running of the shop even after one of the cousins nearly bankrupts her. I like many other things about this series so I will continue to read the books but unless the main character gets over herself a little bit, this will never be a "keeper" series for me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Read
Comment: The third installment in the series was a good way to pass a weekend in between doing holiday chores.
Near the end, Abby did start to get on my nerves. After promising to keep her nose out of the case, she inexplicably feels the need to go warn someone about another character, rather than leaving it to the police. Of course, that sets up her the resolution of the murder, but it just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the story.
I look forward to the next installment.
