Recipe For Revenge (An April May Cozy Mystery Book 2) by Hazel Smith – Review by Kerry Carr

Recipe For Revenge: An Unputdownable Small Town Cozy Murder Mystery by Hazel Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the April May Cozy Mystery series. These books can be ready as a standalone which is great, however I did enjoy this book so I will be going to read the first one.

This is a cosy mystery set in a small town with twists and turns that you don’t expect or see coming. It is a fast paced read and I couldn’t help falling in love with April. She is so determined to get to the truth that she will pursue any lead she finds even though she is just a journalist.

When a store on the main street suddenly goes on fire and the owner is missing April knows something isn’t right. What happened to set the store on fire? Is the owner still alive and did they have something to do with it?
As April starts to ask these questions mysterious figures start appearing and messages are left for her sending her down a path to uncover secrets she never knew existed.
How is her past connected to what is happening now? What secrets does she still need to uncover about her family and their history.
There is also a love interest and the connection between Wesley and April was heartwarming to read but I always felt April’s reluctance to get too close to him.

Overall this was a fun cosy mystery that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more
