A Doomful of Sugar by Catherine Bruns
4.0
3.5 on my usual rating scale, but 4 stars on my cosy mystery scale. Cosies just hit different. I mean the town librarian is named Paige Turner 😂😂
Also, I would die for Toast. 🐈 I love him like my own son, who is also an orange cat.
I read these for the cats and the vibes and the recipes (some maple ones I'm def going to try!) much more so than the plot. I read maybe 3 cosies a year for this reason, but I almost always enjoy them. This one has great atmosphere - I mean it's a maple syrup farm in Vermont which is pretty much synonymous with "atmosphere" - and I enjoyed the characters despite figuring out the killer. Again, these aren't really about that. This was a perfect read to get me into the fall mood. I look forward to the further adventures of Toast in the next ridiculous punny book! ("Syrup to No Good." Obviously.)
