When a local man is found dead at
Bayside Books, Anna Butler becomes implicated in a second murder. Her past connection with the victim raises a
red flag the police cannot ignore. The
Firecrackers start working to clear Anna of the ridiculous allegations.
Anna’s daughter Cassie isn’t making
things easy. Mother and daughter argue
over how to deal with the unexpected visitor, Anna choosing trust and emotion
over Cassie’s more practical approach. Meanwhile, Mayor Lara, Anna’s nemesis,
continues to breathe down her neck, promising dire consequences.
The Butler women are immersed in
turmoil as the grand opening of Anna’s café is postponed and her dreams are
threatened once again. As the murder
investigation takes a bizarre turn, a certain ex-police chief provides the only
bright spot in Anna’s life.
Orange Thyme Death is a sensational
page-turner that will keep you guessing and leave you amazed at an ending you
didn’t see coming.
If you like cozy mysteries with
fearless heroines, high drama, beach settings, and yummy food, you will love
this second book set in Dolphin Bay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ORANGE THYME DEATH is the second
book in the Dolphin Bay Cozy Mystery
series. Though not exactly a continuing
story, there are elements of the characters personal life that are evolving and
make me say that it would be best to read these books in the order of release.
Anna and Cassie’s relationship
continues to be confusing, but it is getting better. Maybe that makes it more like true life than
most books!
I thoroughly enjoyed this quick and
easy read.
Cleverly written with great
characters, there were plenty of suspects to keep me guessing. I like the slowly building romance between
Anna and former police chief, Gino Mancini.
He’s sweet and a true gentleman.
The many foods mentioned keep me battling for the munchies, but so far
I’m winning – LOL. I wouldn’t mind a few
recipes, though!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
