Lethal Licorice
by Amanda Flower
Thank you to Amanda Flower, the publisher, and NetGalley.
In this 2nd installment in the Amish Candy Shop Mystery series, Bailey King is adjusting to live in Harvest, Ohio among Amish people. A recent transplant from New York, Bailey has decided to honor her Amish grandfather's dying wish to take of her Amish grandmother and the beloved Amish Swissmen Sweets candy shop. Though Bailey is not Amish, she used to visit her Amish grandparents throughout her childhood. Her Amish grandfather inspired her to become a chocolatier. Being "English" in an Amish community can be very difficult especially when trying to carry on her grandfather's reputable Amish candy shop.
Baily participates in the annual Amish Confectionery Competition to help bring business to the Swissmen Sweets candy shop. During the contest, a dead body is discovered in the church's organ, by Bailey, which is soon determined to be Josephine Weaver, an Amish woman who did not hide her anger about an "English person" participating in the context.
I really enjoyed this book as much as the 1st on in the series (Assaulted Caramel). I like the Amish setting and the interplay with "English" culture. As usual, there is a possible budding romance with the town's Deputy, Aiden.
The mystery part of this book was surprising. I was not expecting the ending of the person caught in the end to be the killer.
I highly recommend this book to "cozy mystery" fans. I am looking forward to reading more in this series by Amanda Flower.
