Series: Candy Coated Mystery #7
It’s been a busy first year for Allie McMurphy and the McMurphy Hotel on Mackinac Island, but as they are winding downing into the wintery off-season, two bodies are discovered and once again Allie and her cohorts are trying to put together the clues and discover what a sack of hymnals and gold bars has to do with the two gentlemen.
Nancy Coco winds a few different story plots and aspects to keep the reader engaged, yet at the same time, takes a couple of farfetched leaps in hopes of pulling her characters and conclusions together. While there are parts of this series I like – the town, the people, etc., I am beginning to get frustrated with the personification of Allie’s dog. Granted, the Bichon adds a certain cuteness, but being a canine detective is just pushing it too far for me.
A series which should be read from the beginning due to the recurring characters and needing to keep them straight will have you settling in for a cozy mystery with a little romance on the side on a remote island with their own set of royalty and shenanigans.
