Sandy Bay Cozy Mystery

Megan Truman, bakery owner, and her friends of Sandy Bay in the Northwest are typical cozy characters. The character dialog and plot action are steady with no overt language or violence. I recommend following the series in chronological order, although not necessary for story enjoyment.

not as enjoyable as some of the previous ones

While I enjoy Jack and Megan's stories, I kind of felt that there was a bit too much childishness going on between them in these stories. The settings were fun but some of the happenings were a little over the top. Generally a good read, but maybe not as enjoyable as some of the others in the series.
