Toxic Toffee by Amanda Flower

5.0

Charlotte Weaver stood in the middle of Times Square with her mouth hanging open and the ties of her black bonnet flapping on the hot air pushing its way through the subway grate, as the trains rumbled below.

The fourth book in the Amish Candy Shop series is a delight. It opens with Bailey and Charlotte finishing up the taping of the Amish Sweets show. Bailey is summoned back to Harvest by Margot to participate in the Springtime/Easter celebration in the Square. Margot enlists Bailey to create the worlds largest candy bunny made of toffee. While discussing the plans with Margot, a local rabbit breeder died suddenly. Bailey ends up with a large white rabbit named Puff and the feeling that the death was not a heart attack.

This is probably my favorite book so far in the series. I love that Bailey and Aiden have a strong, mature relationship without evidence of a love triangle. I love Swissmen Sweets with Maami, Charlotte, Emily and of course, Nutmeg. The town of Harvest sounds like somewhere I would visit and feel right at home.

Jethro is my favorite pig!! I love that Juliet rarely sees the mischief he creates. I have all the feels when he, Nutmeg and Puff are together as one big happy group.

I enjoy reading about the Amish community and learn something new with each book. I’ve never been to Amish country but certainly want to go.

Bailey has moved into her own little house that comes complete with a nosy neighbor. That plays out well in the story.

The murder had a number of twists and turns with family secrets thrown in for good measure. It’s always hard when the victim is well liked and not a devious character that many would like to see dead.

The recipes always make me drool. I don’t think I have the patience to make toffee but I certainly enjoyed reading about it.

This series gets better with every book and I highly recommend it.
