Murder is a Piece of Cake by Valerie Burns
This series is still so cute. Maddy is such a good lead for a cozy mystery; she is funny without being vapid, likeable without being a pick me, she is not afraid to make mistake and learn and grow and she's not an irritating know it all; you want her to succeed, which is not always the case in a mystery or cozy mystery. I adore her! And her bravery is inspiring; she just up and moved to a completely different state where she didn't know a single person in the first book like it was nothing. In this book we get introduced to a new character who is immediately unlikable, and it turns out he's the sheriff's estranged husband, not her ex-husband, her still husband. So, when he is killed (because he was the worst) Maddy and the Sheriff are the top two suspects. Then, the horrible jerk of a mayor is also killed by the lawyer to "protect" Maddy. And, we still have the whole, 'someone close to me isn't loyal' clue left by her dearly departed great-aunt to deal with. So, that's suspicious. This was cute and fast paced and I can't wait to see what comes next!
