Synopsis
The ghost of a recently deceased chocolatier believes he was murdered, and it's up to young witch Brynn Warren to use her magical gifts and old-fashioned sleuthing skills to find out how he really met his bitter end in this enchanting new Evenfall Witches B&B Mystery.
After spending months unable to use her powers, Brynn Warren is once again using her gift and working at her family's bed-and-breakfast. Her heart is full, and although one of her aunts wonders if it might be a little more full with a bit of romance in her life, Brynn is certain that finding love again is not in her future. In fact, she can’t imagine anyone being more certain of anything…except for maybe, the recently deceased Mortimer Sweete. He’s certain he’s been murdered, and he wants Brynn’s help to bring his killer to justice.
Mort is positive he knows who killed him: his business partner's wife, Cookie, who had been trying to get them to sell the candy shop for months. But Brynn doesn't share his conviction. After all, the coroner ruled his death natural causes, and Mort did have health problems in life. But with Cookie putting up a For Sale sign for the shop already, Brynn knows she can't just let it go.
Trying to solve a might-be murder while attempting to stop her aunt from meddling in her personal life seems like a recipe for disaster. If Brynn wants to bring Mort's spirit peace, she'll have to rely on all her skills—both magical and mundane—to uncover the truth.

Une très bonne lecture même si le premier reste mon préféré. On retrouve les personnages attachants, l'intrigue est simple mais nous donne envie de savoir. J'ai aimé les personnages complexes et des sujet difficile comme le deuil sur fond d'histoire cozy. Plus une histoire à lire au printemps si la saison est important pour vous, mais ce lis bien aussi en automne. Je veux lire un autre tome.
J'ai adoré et j'ai plus accroché que pour le premier tome. L'intrigue reste très simple pour un policier mais les questions humaines et le traitement du deuil sont toujours super. Et c'est très addictif.
Un tout petit peu moins bien que le premier volume selon moi. Il y a plus de longueurs, l'intrigue était un peu moins prenante et il me manquait le côté automnal cosy du tome 1. Brynn a évolué par contre et est par contre beaucoup moins pénible dans cette suite. Une lecture agréable à lire au printemps.
