Chocolate Shoppe Mysteries #2
Guilty Confections
A Civil War journal spells danger for Jillian Green when she researches a local family’s past—and stumbles across a dead body.
Even after a few months spent back in her hometown of Moss Hollow, Georgia, Jillian Green is still as much a blundering baker as ever. However, she finds her detective instincts stirred up when she discovers a Civil War-era journal tucked away in the attic of Belle Haven, her family’s ancestral home. Jillian seeks information from the cantankerous Otis Dupree, but discovers the man lying dead in his beloved peach grove.
The heat is on for Jillian and the people of Moss Hollow as she strives to uncover the truth about Otis’s demise, and the historical implications it represents. Although Otis had shared nothing about his ancestors’ actions, perhaps one of the unpleasant man’s enemies aimed to silence him once and for all. With her connections to the past dwindling, will Jillian be able to solve the mystery before anyone else is sent to the sweet hereafter?
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Chocolate Shoppe Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, and female friendships.

I love the growth Jillian has in this book. She does still have a long way to go. The mystery is slow… I found myself wanting to find out more but my mind drifting elsewhere at time.
The mystery starts around the civil war with two brothers Fredick and Jedidiah. Told with a diary. Up to present day with the last known relative

The book was ok. But if you are a person who is after a good KEEP ME READING MYSTERY this is nit it. Very slow going. It kinda drags. Slow going mystery.
