Former actress Becca Ransom has returned to her home town of Larch Haven to help run her grandparents candy shop. Her homecoming is going great until there is a murder and her Pops is one of the main suspects. Becca decides that she has to clear his name and with the help of her best friend Dizzy starts her own investigation.
I had mixed feelings about this book. While it is a good premise and the setting was interesting, I found the book lacking is some ways. First off there was way to much filler that did not further the story. I liked the characters but other than Becca they did not seem to have a lot of page time. Most of the book was Becca thinking about things and trying to come up with suspects and what their motives might be. Also what questions to ask them that she never asked. In fact there was very little investigating going on. I found these things to make for a very slow read.

It’s been a while since I read a mystery this entertaining. Highly recommend it. This is my first time reading anything by Julia Fox so I will go back and check out her other work. Six Sweets Under is the start of a new series and I can’t wait for the rest.

A fun, food centered cozy mystery. This checks all the boxes: a small, quaint town, curious female protagonist, murder! A little predictable but still fun.

This is the first book in this series. I enjoyed this book so much! It is the first I have read by this author and she is going to be one that I will definitely be reading more by Sarah Fox.
