This is the first book in the Sammy Brook’s Cozy Mystery Series, more akin to a short story that I finished in about an hour.
Sammy has returned to take over her grandmother’s bakery. When a local food critic collapses and dies right after tasting her cream puff, all evidence suggests that Sammy poisoned her. With the help of her friends and her trusty Golden Retriever, Cinnamon, Sammy races to prove her innocence and catch the real killer.
This is a short book, making it a quick read that is both entertaining and enjoyable. Although it’s a murder mystery, it is infused with humor. Sammy’s witty remarks had me laughing out loud at times. I found the book highly engaging, featuring a compelling mystery with a twist, as well as themes of friendship, community, and humor. And let’s not forget the dog; I always enjoy a good story that includes dog.
Happy Reading!
