Review – Fudge-Laced Felonies

In Fudge-Laced Felonies, Summer Meadows is poised to realize her dream of owning her very own candy shop. But she’s also poised to discover an intriguing mystery.

While transplanting a rosebush with Ethan Banning, the man Summer would like to share her dreams with, Summer discovers a hidden stash of diamonds, a rusty can full of cash, and a bloody gardening glove buried in the ground.

Hold up! Who would plant such a treasure at her house, and is the bloody glove a clue that might lead to a dead body? Even though Summer’s candy shop is set to open, she feels compelled to locate the answer to these questions. And that’s where the excitement begins.

Cynthia Hickey’s mystery is a fast moving very plot intensive book. Summer is taken on one wild ride after another, often threatening her very life. This keeps the reader tuned in and turning the pages. Oh, and then there’s the romance. You have to turn the pages to see what will happen with Ethan and Summer.

Hickey has also created a strong conflict between Ethan and Summer that ups the reading enjoyment. Summer insists on moving forward in the investigation no matter the personal cost. But Ethan has a different viewpoint. He wants only for Summer to be safe and he’s often forced to come to her rescue.

Warning: Do not read Fudge Laced Felonies while hungry or on a diet. The sweet confections in the book will leave you dying for chocolate.
