Jumping from 1 star for At Wick's End, to 4 stars for Snuffed Out, has happened after about 3 years. My reading habits, automatism, and likes and dislikes have changed.
Both of the above books have been written by Chris Cavender, who introduced me to modern cozies via his other series.
This book has less mystery than usual. It could be described as a slice of life genre, should we take the manga lingo. There was enough camaraderie in the novel but also some diluted tension that one doesn't take seriously, but pretends to go along.

Second novel of four in this candlemaking craft mystery. This one is better than the first one because we get to know the cast of colourful characters better. Harrison is still pinging not straight. And the ping is getting even louder in the third one I'm reading now. The plot is not very important, one tenant dies in less than mysterious circonstances and Harrison is pushed into investigating in order to keep the peace with the rest of this tenants. You get some nice scenes of candle making, Mrs J. is growing on me, Harrison trying to get to know this kayak renting lady better but getting shut down. This is first class fluff cozy mystery with no protein in take at all.

I liked the candle making bits. The rest of the mystery was ok. It felt at times that the author was trying too hard to put the focus on one character, so it was obvious that they were not the one who "dun it".
