In Lethal Licorice the second installment in the Amish Candy
Shop Mystery Bailey King is slowly settling in to life in Harvest
Ohio working at her Amish grandparents Candy shop. It’s completely
different that her life in New York. She has her own plans for her
life, while her grandmother and Juliet have other plans that involve
Juliet's son Deputy Sheriff Aiden Brody. But match making is going to
have to wait, both Aiden and Bailey get sucked into a murder investigation
of an Amish woman Aiden because he's a sheriff's deputy Bailey because she
doesn't really trust the county sheriff to be fair. Add in a missing pet
pig and its chaos.
As it is a
second book in a series it's hard to give too much background
information in order to prevent giving away too much about the first book in
the series. In this book Bailey finds herself in a candy
making contest with other Amish Candy shops across the United
States. Bailey has to figure out how to balance the contest with helping
Aiden solve the murder rather or not he wants her help.
I actually enjoyed the
second book in this series more than the first. I think part of it is I
can relate to related to what personal issue both Bailey and her grandmother
are going through in the book. At least from Bailey point of view as I went through
something similar two years ago. I've read quite a few of Amanda
Flowers in the past in four other series and I have to say that the Amish Candy
Shop mystery series is my favorite. I love how her mystery keeps you
guessing what up till the end. I look forward to the next book in this
series.
I received a copy of this book
from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive
review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
