Roxy and her sidekicks are back in action in Honey Springs! A magnificent wedding is being planned, but will murder derail the I Do’s? Once again Roxy finds herself in the mix of things by being the local coffeehouse owner and uniquely placed to hear all the gossip. Besides a murder, something fishy is going on with the local bank after a mortgage company they work with starts calling lots of loans due and putting homeowners and business owners out on the streets. Can Roxy investigate all the shady activities, run a coffeehouse and try to keep her love life on track at the same time or will it all blow up in her face! A very interesting layered plot to keep you intrigued coupled with fantastic character development makes for a very fun read. I’m looking forward to seeing what antics the crew get up to in the next book in the series!
This was a fun quick read. I have not read any of the other books in this series and you don’t need to. I did enjoy this Cozy mystery. It was a quick easy read. If you are looking for a book that takes you away from the world for a little while this is a good one to read. I really want to read the next book.
*Thank you Tonya for allowing me to read this for my honest opinion*
This series keeps getting better and better. Don’t miss out by not reading it!
In this next book of the series we find Roxy looking forward to the future. Honey Springs feels like home, she is engaged to a wonderful guy, and her business is doing well. What else could a girl ask for? While heading into work one morning Roxy comes across the body of Hillary Canter, a local sitting at one of her outside tables. All Roxy can think is here we go again and why does this keep happening to me? The dead woman has been seen in arguments with several people over the past few days so the list of suspects is long. Who could of killed her and why? Was it her best friend Pam who is getting married in a few weeks and was tired of her messing with her wedding plans? Could it have been a spat she had over a coat at a local boutique? Was she just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Roxy can’t just sit by and do nothing while there is a murderer out there, especially because it happened in front of her business. Follow along as she sifts through all the gossip flying around town and looks for a killer in a way that only she can. This is such a great read filled with a plethora of fun characters. The setting is homey and pulls you right into the story and will have you feeling like you are right there. I can’t wait to see what happens to Roxy next.
