Candy Coated Secrets

Summer Meadows has gotten herself in trouble again. And she was only trying to fnd a killer!  In this sequel to Fudge Laced Felonies, Cynthia Hickey has hooked me for good. I can't wait to read book 3. From the moment the circus came to town Summer felt something wasn't quite right. First she's drafted into leading a rambunctious elephant to the campgrounds where she finds a woman hanging from a shower spigot. Suicide/ Summer doesn't think so.  From a crazy elephant on a rampage to a gorilla stalking her, Summer finds herself in danger over and over again. But the love of her life is determined to stick by her side. A very nice twist at the end proved once more that Ms. Hickey is very skillful at stumping us. You won't be disappointed in this one. You can purchase it on kindle at http://www.amazon.com/Candy-Coated-Secrets-Meadows-Mystery-ebook/dp/B005VGN0E6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1319074079&sr=8-2

The Wedding Caper by Janice Hannah.
Another Stab at Life by Anita Higman
Homicide on Bllue Heron Lake by Susan Page Davis and Megan Elaine Davis.


Here's my review of The Wedding Caper. (The Bridal Mayhem Mystery Series)


Annie Peterson is on a quest to discover who stole a $25000 deposit from the bank depository.She hopes that in doing so, she'll clear her husband of the crime. From the moment Annie signs up for an online course in private investigation until the satisfying conclusion Janice Hanna kept me thoroughly entertained. And maybe taught me a few lessons as well. The characters are delightful and so is the story. If you love a good cozy mystery, grab this book and a cup of your favorite hot beverage and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.
