A Christmas Candy Killing by Christina RomerilMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Identical twin sisters Alex and Hannah are the owners of Murder and Mayhem, a mystery bookshop that sells their famous poison-themed Killer Chocolates. Shortly before Christmas, their neighbor, Jane, confides to Alex that a murderer from a true-crime show has taken up residence in the village. The next morning, Alex shows up at Jane’s house to watch the show, but instead discovers Jane's body, with a box of Killer Chocolates nearby. The sheriff quickly zeroes in on two suspects: Alex, a beneficiary in Jane’s will, and Zack, a handyman who was seen leaving the crime scene. But Alex maintains her innocence and sets out to find the true killer.
This was a great first-in-a-series cozy mystery. I loved the idea that a bookshop sells chocolate. It would be wonderful to visit. Alex is a wonderfully likeable sleuth who solved the mystery using her intellect and observational skills. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series. Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the advanced reader’s copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
