TRICK OR TREAT AND MURDER Book Review

Trick or Treat and Murder (book 2 in A Cozy Baked Mystery series) by Kate Bell, eBook, 178 pages

Synopsis from GoodReads: It's Halloween in Sandy Harbor, Maine, and time for Tricks and Treats of the deadly kind. Blogger and foodie Allie McSwain finds the body of Sandy Harbor's event coordinator at the Halloween bazaar and sets out to find the murderer. Romance is blossoming between Allie and detective Alec Blanchard, who is determined to keep her out of harm's way, but Allie has other ideas.

BOOK REVIEW: This is book 2 in A Cozy Baked Mystery series. This time around, Allie McSwain finds a body right before the Halloween Bazaar, the town's biggest fundraiser of the year. Using her baking skills to continue to get in good with Detective Blanchard, she manages to stay involved in the case despite there being a killer in town!

This series is filled with quick reads that sometime lead me to think What on earth is going on...this wouldn't happen in real life. Allie is a character that you're either going to love or you won't. I don't think there is an in between here. I enjoyed the questioning and the way Allie thinks that she is being sneaky and inserting herself into the investigation. I'm going to keep reading the series!

I rate this 4.5 out of 5 stars only because no detective would be swayed by sweets to allow a civilian to ride along and be present in the questioning of people during an investigation...and there were multiple mentions in this book (like in the first one) about how she wouldn't look good in an orange jumpsuit.

4.5/5 Stars
