Jullian listened intently but heard nothing. Gloria had complained about the heat, and Jullian knew how many older people suffered heatstroke during the hot Georgian summers. "Should we be in here?" Savannah whispered. "Miss Baxter?" Jillian called. As she stepped around the open door a sharp, metallic scent hit her nose. She knew that smell. It was blood!
Scone Cold Revenge is written by Jan Fields and is book five in the Chocolate Shoppe Mysteries series. As these cozy mysteries go, there is murder, a bakery, mystery, and humor all rolled into one story. Fields does a good job of developing her characters. Even though this book can be read as a standalone, I recommend starting at the beginning of the series with Double Fudge Murder. I think it is a better experience and gives background on numerous characters. In this book, Jillian Greene is running her grandmother Bertie’s bakery in the little town of Moss Hollow, Georgia. When her great-aunt decides to invite a film crew to use the family home, The Belle Haven Mansion, to film a horror movie, what seemed like a doable idea becomes a murderous one. My favorite character is great-aunt Cornelia, who believes her dead husband has come back in the form of her cat, Possum. There were a few laugh-out-loud moments, and I was surprised by the ending. Sweet and fun to read.
