Blurb:
Just when I thought the stickiest thing in my life was toffee… my best friend finds a dead body in her candy store.
Claire bursts into my boutique, pale and shaking—she’s just found candy supplier Dennis Granger lying dead in Sweet Retreat’s storeroom. To make things worse, someone wearing my boutique-branded scarf was spotted leaving the scene.
With Mabel and Teo at my side, I start digging for the truth.
Dennis had been blackmailing Claire over an old scandal. Blaine Turner and Nadine Carver, both burned by a failed Sweet Retreat venture, would love a little revenge. And Trisha Hargrove—Dennis’s ex and a rival confectioner—might have wanted him gone for good.
The deeper I dig, the more dangerous it gets—anonymous notes, candy-coated threats, and planted evidence meant to frame me. Someone’s watching my every move.
If I can’t unwrap the truth in time, I’ll be the next one boxed up… and I doubt there’ll be a bow on top.
My Review:
Penelope’s best friend, Claire, discovers a man named Dennis
Granger in her storeroom, and now Penelope is being framed for his
death. The story has plenty of suspects and clues for Penelope to
follow.
As Penelope delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a web of
secrets that links Dennis to several unsavory characters in town.
With Mabel and Teo by her side, she must navigate the treacherous
waters of betrayal and deceit to clear her name and uncover the
truth.
Scooped, there it is... Dead grabbed my attention
from the beginning and never let go. The many twists and turns kept
my attention throughout the story. I was so immersed in Penelope,
Claire, Mabel, and Teo’s world that mine disappeared. I started to
believe that I was part of their world, as if mine no longer
existed.
It kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to find
out what happened and why. I tried my best to solve the mystery on my
own, but I couldn’t until all the clues were revealed.
I
can’t wait to read more in Penelope’s world. I highly recommend
picking up a copy of Scooped, there it is... Dead today!
