Oh yay! Another cozy mystery series.I purchased this book because of a review by fellow author, Janet Sketchley, and I’m glad I did. It’s the story of Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes who finds herself in a quaint Northern Michigan town as new owner of a maple syrup business. Nicole is a lawyer, but she’s not happy about it. Her parents, also lawyers, demand perfection, and she is far from perfect. In fact, she’s klutzy. I love that about her. She’s a big city girl in a small town, trying to figure out who murdered her favorite uncle, the only one who ever understood her or took time for her.
The mood of the book is lightened by humor, but the plot is intense, as cozy mysteries go, and carries the reader on to the very end when the mystery is finally solved.
One of the best things about this book/series is that it’s a clean read. Thanks, Emily James. I look forward to the next books in this series.
It’s a fun series that keeps getting better as it goes along (I’m not quite caught up yet). Did you get the free prequel book, Sapped?
I’ve read the first four and Sapped. So I have three more on the list. Maybe there are more by now, I’m not sure. Yes, enjoyable. I just picked up Death of a Dead Man to see what that series is like, after reading your review of the third book. Thanks.
