Murder's No Votive Confidence is the first book in the Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery series by Christin Brecher.  Stella Wright is a candle maker who's landed the job of making a unity candle for a big wedding.  Business is looking up that is till her candle ends up being a murder weapon.   When a local who's well-liked by the town is arrested and other brides start canceling orders, Stella decides to find the real killer and find a way to save her wedding candle orders.   Even though her friend and local police officer Andy doesn't want her involved.  

This was the first cozy mystery that I've read that had a Nantucket setting and it's the first crafty cozy I've read focusing on candles.  For a cozy mystery, it was fairly fast-paced. I finished it in a couple of hours over the course of a few days.  If I had had multiple hours in a row, I probably could have finished it one day.   I enjoyed it I look forward to the next book in the series as well as other books by this author. 

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.
