Botched Butterscotch (An Amish Candy Shop Mystery)
By: Amanda Flower
Rating: 5 of 5
This is the second short story in one of my favorite cozy mystery series which is set in an Amish candy shop. The full length novels focus on murder mysteries while the short ones are about solving lesser crimes.
In this story, money for a charity has gone missing. Bailey King (who is not Amish), our candy-making sleuth, takes on the mission to try and figure out both whodunnit and how the crime was accomplished.
Her boyfriend Aiden, a sheriff’s deputy, is busy working other crimes. A deputy with less experience, Deputy Little, is tasked with solving this theft. He welcomes Bailey’s assistance to a point as he feels a little bit over his head.
The story was fun to read and I think you get more out of it if you read the earlier books in the series. However, it doesn’t advance the main story, but gives a side look into some of the characters.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
