This is definitely one of my favorite current cozy mystery series! This particular book felt a bit darker than the last two but still timely and really good. It was also a bit more thrilling/suspenseful and I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely give this series a try if you like cozy mysteries, especially with baking themes! This one is a bit different given the murder and magic but it's so good!
. . . .[I]f I did a cookbook, wouldn't killing it be my theme? I can see it now: Mango Mojito Murder Pie, ingredients mango, mint, and manslaughter. If you can't make your own magic, store-bought is fine.
