"With romance, recipes, and a murderer on the loose, this book will delight fans of Joanne Fluke, Jenn McKinlay, or Laura Childs." —Booklist

Spring has finally come to Sugar Ridge, Vermont, and with it the end of syrup-making season. But Leila Khoury, new owner of Sappy Endings Farm, won't be making like molasses any time soon. Her best friend Heather's wedding is coming up, and Leila will do anything to make sure it lives up to all her sweetest dreams.

Even with Leila's own romantic past stirring up trouble, everything is going to plan until the bridal shower ends up with a body count.

Heather's rich and backstabbing aunt had a whole orchard of enemies, so Leila will have her work cut out for her. Can she tap the killer before Heather's dream wedding becomes a nightmare?

Maid of Honor Duty

Once again Leila is caught up in solving a murder. If it can’t be solved her best friend’s dream wedding is canceled. Then there is another murder and her own life is at risk Leila won’t give up. I really loved how she was watching “Murder She Wrote” for inspiration to solve her case. Another great cozy mystery. #CMCon26

Another Great Mystery

I have enjoyed this author’s writing in her other ongoing series.
This is the second installment in the maple syrup mysteries. It was full of twists and turns and red herrings! It had me guessing until the end.
I love the characters, and toast the cat!
The narration was very good as well.
I can’t wait to listen to book 3!

5 stars

Well-written cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next book.
