Thank you to @tlcbooktours @kensingtonbooks and @darylwoodgerber for this gifted book. 

This book is a delightful cozy mystery and the first in a series. 

The characters are captivating, and I adored the small-town atmosphere. Allie and Teagan make a great team as they work to unravel the mystery of Teagan's aunt's murder. The budding romance between Allie and Zach, the local detective, is heartwarming. The identity of the killer remains a mystery until the end, keeping you guessing alongside the characters.

The fact that the story revolves around a local bookstore is a major plus. Allie, a talented baker, brings the story to life, and the descriptions of her pastries and desserts are absolutely delectable. The inclusion of recipes at the end of the book is a wonderful touch.

If you're a fan of cozy mysteries, be sure to mark your calendars for the release of this book on October 22nd.
