Scone Cold Revenge by Jan Fields

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.
