Kindle Copy for Review from NetGalley and Kensington Books.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

An Amish cozy centered on a candy store where even Amish are not immune to murder. Our heroine is called upon to create a giant toffee bunny as Easter festivities approaches surrounded with live white bunnies. But things are thrown a twist when someone appears to die from a heart attack.

Turns out a lethal dose of lily of the valley was added to a piece of toffee. Who knew toffee could be a killer? It will be up to Bailey and her sheriff boyfriend to find the killer before they end up in a sticky situation.

A delicious cozy read with a yummy toffee recipe included.

Bailey King returns home to Harvest from New York City just in time for Easter week and the rabbits are ruling the town. From the colony of rabbits on the town green to the gigantic rabbit Margot wants Bailey to make out of toffee, the bunnies are front and center. As Margot introduces Bailey to Stephen Raber, the rabbit farmer supplying the live bunnies, he drops dead right in front of them.

Soon her policemen beau, Aiden Brody, confirms that it wasn’t a heart attack, but that the Amish man was poisoned. The man’s son asks Bailey to help him find out who killed his father, because he was receiving threatening notes for a few weeks prior. Bailey is the only one the Amish will speak to and she’s more than happy to team up with Aiden to help solve the murder.

Along the way Bailey finds herself adopting a rabbit and making some new friends, including Millie Fisher, the Amish matchmaker who is the main character in Amanda Flower’s newest series, An Amish Matchmaker, set to debut later this year.

Amanda Flower has a true talent for writing and has several series that are on my must read list as new books are released. If you haven’t read one of her books yet, don’t wait. These are some of the coziest cozies you will find! Can’t wait for more from this author!

I love anything Amanda Flower writes. Her Amish series, this book included, is a wonderful look into rhe Amish world. It shows just how the same we can be when you remove all the differences. It shows as a society we can look past those differences and work together to make life great.

Her plot is well written with characters that are loveable. I cannot wait to read the next in the series.

TOXIC..TOFEE.....by Amanda..Flower
Stephan was busy with the preparation for the .Easter Days, being a bunny farmer, and now he has dropped dead. The created of a chocolate bunny with toffe, was also a disaster, having been outside.. The more she looks into the background of Stephen, there were secrets, an a confession he had left.
Another sweet story and mystery to figure out. Looking for the next in this series. Given ARC by Net Galley and Kensington for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

Toxic Toffee is the four installment in the Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series.

The story starts off with Bailey and her assistant Charlotte in Manhattan shooting six episodes for the candy maker television show - Bailey’s Amish Sweets - that would appear on Gourmet Television during the summer season.

While in New York she receives a call from Margot, the Village of Harvest instigator who wants to talk about a rabbit. As she returns home to Ohio and Swissmen Sweets her grandmother warns her Margot has a grand scheme which includes Bailey carving a giant chocolate rabbit which she hopes will put her town on the map.

Mix in a mold a rabbit out of toffee, a murder and you have a great cozy mystery. By the way, this book provides a recipe for Charlotte’s Toffee Pieces - can’t wait to try it out.

The fifth installment To Match A Killer is coming soon - not soon enough!!​ Keep them coming, love these Amish Candy Shop mysteries.

I was provided this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book for anyone who loves a good mystery. 📕👍🏼

I GIVE IT A 5 STAR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
