Catch Me If You Candy by Ellie Alexander

4.0

Catch Me If You Candy is the seventeenth cozy mystery in the A Bakeshop Mystery series. It is Halloween time in Ashland, Oregon and the town getting ready for the end of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s season, this means an annual parade. When a friend of Jules’ mom finds a mysterious message warning of death to come and a murder occurs on Halloween, Jules finds herself on the case.

This is the first book I have read in the series, but I enjoyed it all the same. I found the beginning to be a little slow, but that might have had to do with the fact that I was just meeting the characters for the first time and trying to acclimate myself into this well established world. About a third of the way through this book really picked up for me and I didn’t want to put it down. I quickly fell in love with these characters and this town and now I can’t wait to go back and start this series from the beginning. I think this is a good book and I can’t wait to see what else this series has to hold. This is a great Halloween cozy mystery whether you’ve read this series from the beginning or are just starting out like me.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book!
