Synopsis:

STIRRING UP TROUBLE

Snowflake, Vermont, is known for its skiing in winter—and its soup all year round, thanks to Lucky Jamieson’s By the Spoonful. Autumn brings golden leaves, pumpkin rice soup, the annual Harvest Festival…and murder.

Lucky’s soup shop is busier than usual this October, with groups of itinerant travelers in town to work the Harvest Festival. One newcomer seems to take a particular interest in Lucky’s young waitress, Janie, spying on her from across the street. Is the stranger stalking Janie?

After an unidentified man is found murdered in a van by the side of the road, simmering suspicions about the travelers are brought to a boil. But when Janie is put in harm’s way, Lucky must join forces with the travelers to turn up the heat on a killer…

My Review:

I was excited when this tour came up as I had just finished reading A Spoonful of Murder. See my review here.

The crime and murder mystery was very similar to book one, but intriguing enough to keep a reader guessing. Lucky is an amazing sleuth and is able to work through the clues very well, even if her life seems to be complicated with her romance. Hopefully she can continue to figure that out.

I still find the the town of Snowflake very inviting and enjoyable. The feeling created about the town makes it very inviting and the characters are also fitting and help to create the same feeling. The relationships Lucky has in each book is very unique and interesting. I enjoy the character interaction and development in each book. Lucky has such a big heart and smart mind.

This is definitely a great series and excited to fill in the gap with book two soon. If you have not read any of this author's works before, give this book a read. It it not necessary to read the books in order as she writes enough to make them stand alone.
