    The story is okay. I am just not a fan of short mysteries. Things are solved too easily and fall into place too quickly to appeal to me. If you are a fan of short, quick reads, you will like this series. Mr. Mitchell could also use some help in the proof reading department.

    Love this series. Everyone is a winner. Is there a connection between Kate, her Bakery and the murders that seem to follow her? Hope not. One more book in series 😢. An easy to read enjoyable series.
