Book 5 in the Sweet Treat Cozy Mystery series, which can be read in one to two hours! Perfect for a lunchtime read or if you want to enjoy a quick light-hearted read, with a parrot-loving amateur sleuth, set in a seaside town with quirky characters.
An okay read, not one of my favourites. A good plot but still felt a bit under done. The characters however are good and it's nice to see that Jeffrey has managed to win Molly's mother over. Her mother is coming down for a visit and she can't wait to show her the apartment and the shop but her mother has raised reservations about her having another police boyfriend. The first night she is there, they go on an entertainment cruise and both have a great time until the alarm sounds. The boat is heading straight for the docks! All the passengers are put into lifeboats but a crash is averted. The reason. The captain had been killed and the first mate hadn't been at his post. Add in affairs, money and a lone pair of panties. Will this help them to get the killer?
I started this book not realizing it was book 5, but I have to say that I still enjoyed this book very much. I really liked how Molly's mom did not care for her dating a detective, but yet warmed up to him when he saved her daughter's life during an investigation. I got a kick out of Molly's mom. I got a feeling from how it ended that her mom was going to be making a move soon to be closer to her daughter. I think it would be really neat if her mom came to live by Molly.
This sweet treats cozy mystery is delightful and a light hearted read. Enjoy all the characters molly, who owns a bakery shop ,her two teenage hired helpers, Bonnie and Braxton who are twins. Then there is her cop boyfriend who passed his exam to be a detective. There whammy her pet parakeet, her mother Mrs jenn.
