Stalls and Scandals: Northern Lights Cozy Mysteries Book 3

Cheryl Dugan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When a farmers market is set up for a weekend in Northern Lights, Cassie Brooks volunteers to handle the cash payments for some of the higher priced vendors through her cafe. Unfortunately, someone breaks into her cafe and takes the money. Along with her friends, Cassie is determined to find the thief and make things right before the market ends.

This book was an interesting read and a bit different than other cozy mysteries I’ve read. The author takes time to develop the characters, the surroundings and the plot points. The actual crime does not take place until halfway through the book, but I was so engrossed in the story, that I didn’t realize it. As much as I liked the storytelling, the only negative is that the conclusion seemed rushed compared to the rest of the book. Finally, there was a secret revealed at the end that made a heartwarming conclusion. This is a cozy mystery that I think many readers will enjoy.
