Synopsis:
When her pregnant best friend’s doula is found with a smoking gun, fudge maker Allie McMurphy’s sleuthing becomes a labor of love . . .
DID THE DOULA DO IT?
April is not only the start of “fudgie” season on picturesque Mackinac Island, it’s when Allie’s BFF Jenn Carpenter is due. Jenn wants to have her baby on the island, so she’s lined up a midwife and a doula. But she’s two weeks overdue—and if one more person tells her she looks ready to pop, she’s going to go bananas.
If there was a list of what not to expect when you’re expecting, right at the top would be coming upon your doula holding a gun over the body of her fiance. Clearly in shock, Hannah Riversbend claims not to have shot him. Jenn asks Ally to prove the doula’s innocence before her special delivery arrives. The clock is ticking as Ally races to solve the murder in time for Jenn’s bun to come out of the oven. . . (Amazon)
Review:
The characters are well rounded and well developed. Allie’s best friend, Jenn, is going to have a baby at any time. Everything is going well until the doula is found holding a gun over the body of her fiance. The doula does not know where the gun came from or what happened. Allie must find out who the killer is and why and quickly so Jenn will have her doula when the baby comes.
The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and these descriptions pulled me into the story from the very beginning. The writing style flows smoothly and defines the characters very clearly by their actions and words. The mystery was well plotted and it was not easily solved.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well written cozy mystery. Grab this book and find a cozy place to read and enjoy.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book provided by the publisher, Kensington Books, and NetGalley, which I greatly appreciate. (Amazon)
