Murder always leaves a sour taste... Although baby showers aren't an Amish tradition, Bailey King wants to celebrate Emily Keim's forthcoming bundle of joy. It's the least she can do for her hardworking assistant at Swissmen Sweets, especially with Emily being estranged from her siblings. Everyone in Harvest, Ohio has gathered at the town gazebo--decked out in lemon-themed décor to add some of Emily's favorite flavor to the festivities--including Juliet Brook, Jethro the Pig, and in a last-minute invite, Emily's sister Esther Esh. But Esther isn't the only surprise guest. A mysterious Amish woman confronts Emily claiming to know about her secret shame--the child she had as a teenager who was given up for adoption. The stranger vanishes before Bailey could find out who she was and if she knew what happened to Emily's first baby. Later that evening, the woman reappears--dead in Esh Family Pretzels, with a threatening letter written by Esther found on her body. Emily knows her sister is not a murderer and convinces Bailey to help clear Esther's name and put the squeeze on the real killer...
This is a cozy mystery, and this is the 6st book in An Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series. I have read and review a few other books in this series, but I have not read all the books in this series. I really enjoyed this cozy mystery. The characters are super fun to follow, and the mystery was really good. The main character is Bailey, and I love how she helps solves the mystery. I also love how there is a mixed of Amish and English people in this book. I also love all the animals in this book. The writing in this book is great. I receive an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
