Tell-Tale Treats by Jennifer J. Chow - 4 Stars!


A group of high school alumnae reunite and reserve rooms at the Pixie Inn for an extended retreat. As part of their pampering package, Felicity Jin delivers a scrumptious assortment of enchanted pastries, including her new almond cookies. But the queen bee of the group is soon found dead in her bathroom after sampling the baked goods. Could Felicity’s almond cookies have set off a fatal nut allergy?

I usually don't go for paranormal mysteries, but this one is a sweet one. Not only because of all the juicy desserts described in the story, but because of the characters and their relationship to each other. It's just so sweet how the amateur sleuth relates to the detective in this story. The animal sidekicks in this story also made me giggle because they were integral in the mystery, yet at first glance, seemed innocuous. If you want a cozy mystery with a little bit of magic, look no further than this series. Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
