Description

It's time for cozy readers to return to the magic of Mackinac Island where sleuth extraordinaire Allie McMurphy solves another unsolved murder in Nancy Coco's perennially popular Candy-Coated Mystery series.
FORECAST: FAIR WIH A CHANCE OF MURDER . . .

The Mackinac County fair is in full swing, and the air is rich with the scent of funnel cakes and the sound of carnival rides. Allie is focused on the fudge competition—another win would really put her hotel and fudge shop on the map. But she's willing to take a little break and walk through the haunted house attraction with her friend Jenn.

When they come across a body, though, it turns out not to be a prop. Soon Allie's cop boyfriend is on the scene, and the sleuthing confectioner is hunting for clues. Danger strikes too close to home when the hotel becomes the scene of a suspicious fatal accident, and Allie suspects the two deaths are connected. The case is turning into a real rollercoaster. Allie will need to hold on tight . . .
Praise for Nancy Coco and the Candy-Coated Mysteries
"I will be counting down the days until the next mystery with Allie McMurphy."

"Full of disguises, danger, and one determined amateur sleuth." —Fresh Fiction

        Winning a candy contest brings nothing but trouble to a fudge-making Michigan hotelier. Allie McMurphy hopes that winning the Mackinac County Fair's candy contest will bring good publicity to the McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop. After she wins, however, the publicity isn't exactly the kind she wanted. When she and her friend Jenn Carpenter visit the fair's haunted murder mansion, they find a dead body. It's far from a first for Allie, who's stumbled on quite a few corpses since she moved to Mackinac Island, much to the despair of her boyfriend, police officer Rex Manning. To add to her woes, she's accused of bribing the candy contest judges by Christine Keller, whose caramels have won best in show for 20 years and who doesn't accept Allie's win gracefully. The friends who've helped Allie solve past crimes are eager for her to look into carnival attractions owner Mike Sanders' death, but it's not till Hazel Green falls or is thrown off the McMurphy's roof that she starts sleuthing. Hazel was deeply involved in parkour, an activity that required her to travel to a destination by jumping from roof to roof. Allie's little dog, Mal, sniffs out clues, and even her cat lends a paw, leading her to one of a series of underground tunnels that are being used for nefarious purposes. The two murder investigations become one as Allie and Rex find connections between them that are confusing but eventually lead to a solution. An enjoyable character-driven whodunit that mixes murder with a touch of romance and the requisite sweet treats.
