Blurb:
Food critic and amateur sleuth Darcy Finnegan thought returning to Vermont for Thanksgiving meant cozy traditions, maple treats, and a dash of family drama—not a shocking murder.
When a shady real estate developer is found dead near the candy station of her family’s historic sugarhouse, Darcy, her clever Schnoodle Mozart, bestie, and Interpol Agent Marcus Evans are pulled into a mystery as sticky as spilled syrup.
The victim’s scheme to clear local maple groves for luxury homes earned him more than a few enemies. But things get personal when a prized candy mold vanishes, the murder weapon disappears, and Mozart is suspiciously framed.
Meanwhile, Marcus struggles with a burning confession that could change their relationship forever.
With secrets swirling and danger closing in, Darcy must uncover the truth before the next body drops and the sweetness of home turns deadly.
Bonus Recipe Included!
Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Ellie Alexander, and a strong seasonal bake, this maple-laced mystery delivers a bite of suspense with a dollop of cozy charm.
My Review:
A Very Sticky Murder, yet another delightful mystery in Greta Sinclair’s A Darcy and Mozart Cozy Culinary Mystery series, captivated me from the start. I've relished many of the Darcy and Mozart Cozy Culinary Mysteries, but I truly believe that A Very Sticky Murder stands out as the best. I adore that Darcy returned home for her family’s Thanksgiving at their charming sugarhouse.
The joy and affection shared among everyone were truly heartwarming. The ambiance radiated warmth and a sense of coziness. I could nearly envision the enticing aromas as they began their baking.
Darcy arrives with her new boyfriend, Interpol Agent Marcus Evans, her clever Schnoodle Mozart, and her dear friend Lizzie. This marks Marcus's first introduction to her family, and he is quite anxious about the entire situation.
All are anticipating a wonderful time, and everything seems to be unfolding beautifully until real estate mogul Freddy Alden shows up, only to later be discovered face down in a sticky pool of maple syrup.
Darcy must uncover the truth behind what happened to Freddy before her family’s reputation is tarnished and Mozart is wrongfully accused as the prime suspect, along with her relatives.
I wholeheartedly recommend grabbing a copy of A Very Sticky Murder for another delightful and heartwarming mystery to unravel. Yes, I realized after reading it that my comment may sound a bit off, but I trust you understand the sentiment I intended to convey.
