A Doomful of Sugar by Catherine Bruns
5.0
I gave A Doomful of Sugar by Catherine Bruns 5 stars!
Leila Khoury has always believed that everyone loved her father as much as they loved his artisanal maple syrup. But when he's killed, and she returns to Sugar Ridge, Vermont to take over his business, she starts to realize how much of his life she's left untapped.
With her brother under suspicion, her mother just barely holding it together, and police not producing any leads, Leila will have to investigate herself if she wants answers about her father's sticky end. But the more she learns, the more she worries that there won't be a sappy ending to the story.
-------- REVIEW --------
Wow, I loved this book and read it in one day! It is a great beginning to a new series and I highly recommend it. Beautiful Vermont is the perfect place for a maple syrup farm and reading this book during October was a very good idea.
The mystery was very intriguing and even if I had my suspicions, the ending really took me by surprise. I liked all the characters in this book, both family and friends. Even if Leila has a complicated relationship with her mother, I liked seeing them trying to work towards a change. I also have to mention Leila's employee, Noah! They had such fun banter and I love an enemies to lovers trope. He is an excellent candidate for a book boyfriend!
I can't wait to read book number two in this series!
This book comes out October 25.
