As December sweeps through South Lick, Indiana, Robbie’s life seems merry and bright like the string lights glistening around town. But strange happenings signal a bumpy ride into the holidays. First a man raises eyebrows at Pans ‘N Pancakes when he claiming to be the long-lost half-brother of Robbie’s assistant. Then a fire destroys the home of a controversial anesthesiologist, exposing skeletal remains in his attic. Helplessly intrigued, all Robbie wants for Christmas is to stop her winter wonderland from becoming a real nightmare. With a decades-old mystery taking shape, can she run as fast as she can in pursuit of a killer who’s harder to crack than a stale gingerbread man?

Candy Slain Murder
Homey, not too much conjecture. Good foreshadowing.
Maddie Day’s Candy Slain Murder
Welcome to South Link, Indiana. We will go to Pans ’N Pancakes cafe for a bite to eat. Robbie Jordan owns and runs the cafe, store and B & B. A house fire in town reveals a human skeleton in the attic. The body was of a woman who had gone missing years ago. Then a murder occurs. Mix in an adopted man looking to met his mother, sister and grandmother plus social issues of the day for truly enjoyable read which includes antics, interesting characters and lots of mouthwatering foods. This is book # 8 in the Country Store Mystery series. It can be read as a stand alone effortlessly. I volunteered to read Candy Slain Murder. Thanks to Kensington Publisher via NetGallery for the opportunity. My opinion is voluntary and my own. Recipes included at the end for: Gingerbread People, Holly Cookies, Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Corrine’s Beef Stew, Spinach-Red Pepper Egg Bake and Peppermint Mocha Muffins.
Race/bigotry
This author keeps bringing up serious subjects and does a poor job at it. Her main character is way too tolerant of hate filled people and it’s tiring to read. I think I made a similar content before about one of her books and then took a break. I need to just stop reading her books.
I hope you’re a better person than your main character. Cause that whole having a Black best friend is laughable when on the flip side you do nothing to protect or stand up for them.
