Six Sweets Under by Sarah Fox

5.0

“Six Sweets Under” by Sarah Fox the 1st instalment in the "True Confections Mystery" series. I love Sarah’s writing style and totally loved her Literary Pub Mystery series as well as the Pancake House Mystery series, so knew I wouldn't be disappointed! What a great start to a new series! I loved it

I really enjoyed visiting Larch Haven , and the True Confections shop. Sarah is very good at descriptive writing so you feel like you’re right there walking along the canals or riding in a gondola and seeing the picturesque cottages. I know I would love to live there.

Everyone knows I’m a sucker for furbabies in my cozies so when you have two mischievous cats named Truffles and Binx, I was okay I’m in love. Another thing I enjoyed was the relationship between Becca and her grandparents Lilly and Pops, as well her bff Dizzy and her high school crush Sawyer.

I wasnt surprised by what happened to Archie but having all those suspects drew me in and I had to find out what happened to him! Since Becca makes the chocolates, she has free time to slip out and investigate with her bff Dizzy even though Sawyer tells them to stay out of the police investigation.

It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I didn’t completely guess whodunnit until Becca did. plus all the descriptions of the chocolates made my mouth water. Recipes in the back of book…

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends and I can’t wait for book 2 to come out!

All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.

Good cozy mystery! I honestly probably should’ve paid attention a little bit better in the middle but I honestly didn’t see the ending coming haha

I don't want to give this book a 2 star rating because I didn't read the physical book. I listened to the audiobook and I couldn't connect with the narrator. So much so, I'm ashamed to admit this, but I DNF'd it at 80%.

There's nothing I can pin point about the narrator other than I felt SAD the entire book. The way she spoke and the rhythm of her speech put me into tears multiple times. It was very weird. That said, I'm very empathic so it's possible she read this on an off day or, perhaps, I'm a little off and kind of crazy?

I had a hard time connecting with the characters because of this I really wish I had picked up the physical copy. I think it would have been a killer book (
