Title: Sugar and Vice
Author: Eve Calder
Publication Date: April 28, 2020
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Recommended If You Like: baking, small communities you would love to be a part of, friendship, mysteries involving history

The Book: 

Kate McGuire feels like she has a home in Coral Cay-a crazy, busy home, but a wonderful home nonetheless. She is juggling a lot right now though-baking for the Pirate Festival, plus an unwelcome surprise visit from her ex-fiance. Add in the mystery of the unknown skeleton found in her best friend's yard, and Kate may have more on her plate than she can handle.

What I Liked:

I love this series (this is the second book)! The characters are so fun and unique, and Calder has created such a wonderful world with Coral Cay. She makes me want to go visit Coral Cay, surround myself with beautiful flowers, eat all the delicious baked goods and drink the best coffee, all while petting the adorable local dog.

The mystery was also a good one, with lots of twists and turns. The ending completely surprised me, and Calder didn't hold back with the big reveal.

Anything I Didn't Like?

I've found that there's really nothing not to like about this cozy mystery series!

So...?

I highly recommend this series! It's one of my absolute favorite cozy mysteries series, from the characters to the setting to the mysteries-and how much it makes me want cookies!
