A Doomful of Sugar by Catherine Bruns

5.0

Leila has come home from Florida when her father is murdered and learns that he as left her the family farm and maple sugar business to her. As she works on her own personal issues of losing her father, strained relationship with her mother, and faces the main reason why she left town four years ago, she also has to learn how to manage the family business and try to find out why her father was killed.

This book is the start to a new cozy mystery series. It was very well written and had a lot of depth to the story and characters. I did guess the killer, which I rarely do, but it did not lessen the enjoyment of the book for me and I did not guess the killer’s motive.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for an eARC copy in exchange for a review.
