About this ebook

A baker who sees the dead. One too many suitors. 

And a killer. Living in Honey Hollow can be murder. 

A laugh out loud standalone cozy mystery by New York Times Bestseller Addison Moore*

All books in the series can be read individually but are best enjoyed in order. ***Includes RECIPE***

 

My name is Lottie Lemon, and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety who have come back from the other side to warn me of their previous owner’s impending doom. 

 

The holidays have arrived, and the Jolly Holly Tree Lot is hosting a special event that has pets and people alike bustling to get a picture with the jolly old elf himself. My sweet cats are just as anxious as I am to get to the front of the line, but that body I stumble upon threatens to take the joy right out of the season.

Lottie Lemon has a brand new bakery to tend to, a budding romance with perhaps one too many suitors, and she has the supernatural ability to see the dead—which are always harbingers for ominous things to come. Throw in the occasional ghost of the human variety, a string of murders, and her insatiable thirst for justice, and you’ll have more chaos than you know what to do with. 

Living in the small town of Honey Hollow can be murder.   

Ratings and reviews

Good humor, interesting characters and sooo many potential villains. This book has it all- briefly. The author foregoes all character or setting development for pushing the plot through climax. Paranormals do not exist in the world and no magic is involved, just a cozy mystery. it was a fun quick read I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone, a wonderful time. For my part, I wouldn't object to a bit more on the love interest front, which would require more character revelation. How else would I know who to cheer on? I hope they get to do more to show themselves as the series continues. At book 2, both seem eminently suitable. Lottie is clever, even if she does take shortcuts with candy making, and appealing. I don't want this to be a torrid romance but I do want to read real people, not cardboard stereotypes. Still, Ms Moore has a winning recipe for a mysterious trifle served with elan. I think you'll consume with gusto and come back for more.

5/10 A lot of gossiping and a bunch of grown adults acting like highschool kids. It was impossible to identify with any of them. I really should give this 2 stars. Also, it was not very Christmasy, and I saved it to read at this time of year.

It was too short . Just when you are getting into the book it is done .
