Bailey King, candy shop owner and star of TV’s Bailey’s Amish Sweets, is back for another mystery-filled adventure in the town of Harvest, OH. It’s right before Christmas, and Bailey has a lot to be excited for this holiday season. She’s engaged to Sheriff Aiden Brody, celebrating the grand opening of her new candy factory, and looking forward to a long-overdue visit from her jet-setting parents. However, between a series of burglaries worrying townsfolk, an unexpected wedding planner, babysitting a troublesome pig, and the tragic demise of one of her employees, Bailey is once again searching for answers. When she learns her employee’s death was more than an accident, Bailey’s innocent pursuit of answers and empathetic effort to reunite a local family put her in danger and illuminate secrets that some wish would stay hidden.
VERDICT This follow-up to Blueberry Blunder is perfect for series fans and readers who enjoy cozy mysteries and books that explore the Amish way of life. Even readers unfamiliar with the series who crave a holiday read will enjoy Flower’s respectful balance of Amish culture with genre expectations.
