Dear Fellow Readers,

Do you feel this way? I do.

Let’s talk about a book. That will make us feel better.

Tell-Tale Treats by Jennifer J. Chow was released yesterday. It is the third book in the series called the Magical Fortune Cookie series. I have reviewed the other two books. (Book 1 – Ill-Fated Fortune and Book 2 – Star-Crossed Egg Tarts)

In this installment, Felicity has been asked to bring an assortment of pastries to a group of friends from high school who are having a reunion at the Pixie Inn, a local bed and breakfast. Felicity feels that the vibe of the group is off from the very beginning especially with the way the “Queen Bee” is acting.

It wouldn’t be a cozy without a death, right? Yes, and you probably guessed it. The Queen Bee is found dead in her bathtub, apparently drowning after suffering an allergic reaction.

Was the reaction to Felicity’s almond cookies?

Felicity and her boyfriend, Kelvin Love, start investigating and find that the women are certainly not friends. Then why were they all brought together? It looks like the Queen Bee was playing with fire – she brought them all together to settle scores from their past. (Well, that didn’t work out for her, did it?)

I enjoyed the story. I thought it dragged a bit, and there was just a lot of Felicity going to the Bed and Breakfast. I guess I thought the story could have been tightened up a bit. But I still think that you would enjoy it. The series is a good example of Culinary Cozy Mysteries.

Thanks for reading.
