Yes! Now that is how you write a cozy mystery. First of all, I LOVE that this didn't start with a breakup, divorce or cheating husband trope. Instead, it's three childhood friends who open a bakery together. They have a history to explain their friendship and for the most part they are going about their normal lives. When Tate's bridezilla fiance is found deceased, all eyes turn to Mel (mc). As Mel tries to clear her name, we encounter a small group of supporting characters. There is enough to make you go “now who did it and how?” But not enough to be overwhelming. Overall this was a solid cozY mystery for an afternoon.
This book is as good as everyone has said! I don't know what took me so long to read it. Mel and Angie are a great team plus of course there is Angie's brothers and Mel's ‘helpful' mom. These characters are just so much fun!
The mystery wasn't very mysterious as I picked out the murderer the first time they appeared in the page. I was surprised by the why and how.
The strength of this book is the delightful characters. I will be picking up book 2 very soon.
4 stars such a fun and well written cozy! Another series to add to my list of cozy mysteries
