In the small town of Abbott Creek, mystery is as much a part of daily life as The Sweet Shop's sugar cookies. With the upheaval of spring comes a whole new batch of arguments and upsets. Amelia Simpkins may be a great cook, and have a head for business, but sweet treats are out of her league and the owner of the Irish Blessings Cafe says it's because she adds the tart to the Sweet Shop's new dessert that Katie Chupp insists is only filled with lemony goodness. The two shop owners' constant bickering sends sparks flying through Abbott Creek's usual calm... and this is one mystery Katie wants no part of, but working for Mrs. Simpkins may put her in the middle - whether she intends to take sides . . . or not.And, when the Yoder and Davis families collide on some rather sensitive issues, bringing things to light that two certain young people would rather keep hidden away, Travis may have to face up to the truth about his feelings for a certain young woman—and all that goes along with those feelings.Book 3 of the Sweet Shop Mysteries series No library descriptions found. |

If you have read the previous books you may remember that there was a relationship blooming between Mrs. Simpkins and Mr. O'Neal. Well maybe I assumed they were getting closer, because it seems they are not quite talking to each other. Katie and Freida notice a distance between the two and wonder what is going on. Katie thinks she needs to interfere, oh I mean help the couple out. I loved the scene when Mrs. Simpkins and Mr. O'Neal are seen in a heated conversation right outside the bake shop. What are they arguing about? How long will it take for the town to start gossiping?
I enjoyed how the author included something from the previous book about Katie and her fear of coming into the store early by herself. She thought she had gotten over that, but something is making her feel uncomfortable. Is there something going on with Mrs. Simpkins and the bakery?
One of my favorite parts of the book was getting to know Freida better. She is a good person, but likes to gossip a bit. She is a big help at the bakery and wants to learn as much as she can. Freida is struggling with joining the church and getting married. I loved the talks she has with Katie about her struggles. Katie is having her own doubts about joining the church as well. Her prayers are so genuine and filled with hope. The book is a wonderful story filled with surprises that caught me off guard. I loved the theme of family, friendship and faith . This is one story you don't want to miss. Make sure you try out the recipes in the book. They sound delicious.
I received a copy of this book from the author. The review is my own opinion. (
