Tahera's Reviews > A Christmas Candy Killing

Mix chocolates, a mystery bookshop and true crime documentaries in a story plot and you get A Christmas Candy Killing, the first book in a debut series. This was overall an entertaining read with a good plotline with the mystery connected to true crime documentaries that Jane, an elderly resident, is addicted to watching and which eventually becomes a reason for her death. It wasn't easy to guess who the culprit was until the reveal at the end but later I realised the clues were very much there.

Plus, chocolates are my guilty pleasure, aphrodisiac (whatever you call it) and this book had ample description and discussion of chocolates to get my mouth watering! The book has recipes too at the end but were very complicated for me to give it a try... let the professionals handle the art of chocolate making and I will stick to just eating them 😋😁!

A promising and delectable start to a new cozy mystery series for sure!

My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher Crooked Lane Books and the author Christina Romeril for the e-Arc of the book. The book published on 11th October, 2022.
