A Christmas Candy Killing by Christina Romeril

 


What is your favorite type of Christmas candy?  I love so many different types, but fudge is my favorite.

Alex and Hannah are identical twin sisters who own a book and candy store, Murder and Mayhem, in a small town in Montana.  Originally from Frankenmuth, Michigan, the ladies have used their family chocolate making tradition to create a line of murder-themed chocolates, perfect to pair with your favorite mystery.  When Alex finds a neighbor, friend, and Sleuth Book Club member, Jane, dead in her own home, she decides she is going to track down her killer.  Jane had wanted to show Alex a true crime show as she thought the picture of a killer on the show matched someone in their small town.  Was Jane onto something or is there another reason that she was murdered?

I enjoyed the mystery in this one and did not figure out the killer until the pieces all fit together at the end.  This was the first book in a new planned cozy mystery series, and I can’t wait to read more.  I enjoyed Alex and Hannah and meeting their friends and acquaintances in their small town.  I also love that they own a combination candy and bookstore.  I think that is a spectacular combination!  I also loved that it was at Christmas time and enjoyed that as well.  There was humor in the story and the book overall had good pacing.

Review Copy from NetGalley.  Thank-you! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
