Bailey is an up and coming chocolatier in NYC and is just about to be named the successor of her mentor and owner of a famous chocolate...place (chocolaterie?) when she gets a call that her grandfather is seriously ill. So, she drops everything and heads home to the middle of Amish country in Ohio. Her grandparents run a chocolate shop in a small Amish town, which sounds cozy and welcoming as heck, but then of course there's a murder, right in the chocolate shop's kitchen. And Bailey is Suspect Number One. A good, solid start to a new (for me) cozy mystery series. Very Hallmark-like, what with the Big City Girl coming back to Small Town Midwest, needing to choose between the a-hole boyfriend she left behind in the city and the handsome and sweet small town deputy she finds here. Plus, I didn't at all guess correctly who the killer was, which is always a good sign. I'll likely continue with the series. Bonus: it's set in an area of Ohio that's nearby to me! Bailey King is a NYC chocolatier about to be promoted in a prestigious chocolate shop. Her grandmother in Ohio calls Bailey to come at once as grandfather's heart is failing and he is in the hospital. What Bailey has told no one, not even her best friend Cass, is that her grandparents are Amish. Bailey rushes to her grandparents' home above their Swissman Sweets candy shop. A land developer is buying up all the local Amish businesses, and is pressuring Bailey's grandparents to sell out, too. Her first night at her grandparents, Bailey goes downstairs after everyone is asleep, to get her phone which she left charging down in the candy kitchen (the only place where electricity was allowed.) She can't open the kitchen door, due to something partially blocking the door. A dead man was in her grandparents' candy kitchen. The first half the book was rather slow moving as the author introduces the reader to the small Amish/English community of Harvest, Ohio. There are many quirky Amish and English characters to become acquainted with. This is a decent introduction to a series. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I enjoyed this book much more than I expected: The story, the characters, the atmosphere. I only have basic knowledge of the Amish, but I liked how little bits of information were included in an organic way that did not hinder the flow.
The story drags a bit in the second quarter and
