TOXIC TOFFEE Book Review

A sweet tooth for murder . . .  

Bailey King’s in New York wrapping up a six-week shoot on her first cable TV show, Bailey’s Amish Sweets, when she gets a call from her Ohio town’s resident busybody. With Easter around the corner, Bailey’s been recruited to create a giant toffee bunny for the weeklong springtime festival that will also feature live white rabbits. But back home in Harvest, death becomes the main attraction when Stephen Raber keels over from an apparent heart attack—with Bailey and Raber’s pet bunny as witnesses.
. 
Except it wasn’t Raber’s heart that suddenly gave out—a lethal dose of lily of the valley was mixed into a tasty piece of toffee. Who’d want to poison a jovial rabbit farmer who reminded Bailey of an Amish Santa Claus? To solve the murder, she and her sheriff deputy boyfriend Aiden must uncover a twenty-year-old secret. She’ll need to pull a rabbit out of a hat to keep a healthy distance from toxic people, including one venomous killer . . .  


MY THOUGHTS:   
5 Stars:  5/5 star rating
Bailey King has once again gotten herself into a sticky situation.  (Pun intended) Bailey seemed to always be around when a murder happens, and much to her police officer boyfriend, she is far too curious and far too quick to investigate on her own.  He fears for her safety as she plows ahead to find the killer.  The Amish in the community trust Bailey where they don't tend to trust the police.  
I am stuck to this book like toffee on a dress, and I just can't get enough of this delicious new title in An Amish Candy Shop Mystery series.  I can't help rooting for Bailey and Aiden, both in solving the murder and their budding romantic relationship.  This is book #4 in the series but it could easily be read as a stand-alone book.  I personally have enjoyed meeting the characters and following their stories though in reading all the books in the series.  
I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley and Kensington Publishing in exchange for my honest review.   I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
