The snapdragon inn is the setting of a cozy mystery book club with a difference they get transported into the stories to find out whodunit!


This time they are trying to find out who hates cake so much, in the town of Frosting that they have caused chaos, mayhem, and murder. Can they do it before the next murder happens?


This is such a delightful series they really are a pleasure to read. Elizabeth does such an amazing job at pulling you into the story as if you are one of the characters and I must say I am rather fond of all the characters, I'm sad we've lost one but happy for her circumstances and hope we do find out how she gets on.


Although this is a series I personally think you could read it as a stand-alone, but it's much more fun reading the series as you get to find out more about everyone.


I highly recommend and give 5/5

What a series!

Jasper runs the tabletop tavern with his close friends and has no intention of letting anybody else in he likes it that way. Matt has gone through yet another breakup and is feeling unlovable what is wrong with him why is he not good enough for any woman? Jasper helps him on his journey of healing but could there be more to it?


I have absolutely loved this series from start to finish! The warmth, emotion, turmoil, love, and everything in between is gripping. There are so many issues dealt with and they are done so in a sensitive heartwarming way. Although this can be read as a stand-alone I would advise reading all of the books as each character has a different story to tell it's easy to see why they support each other so fondly.
Jasper's story is heartbreaking but I'm so happy he has his family to help him get through it even though at times like some of us do we can get quite nasty when we're hurting or unable to process certain things.

It has been such a pleasure reading and learning about each of these characters realizing that no matter what you don't need to feel shame. Thank you Katherine you've done an amazing job.

Vanilla has been in an accident. She has woken with no recollection of who she is or has been. She has tried everything so far to try and jog her memory so her family resort to the only thing they have left the center. Maybe she will discover a lot more than herself.


I found this a very interesting story. There were a lot of things happening. I like the way that we, as a reader, go along with the same amnesia that Vanilla has, and that we follow every step that she takes in her discovery to find out who she is. There are a lot of heartaches involved and some of the stuff she finds out is gut-wrenching but it makes it more interesting and gives more motivation to find out what has happened.


I recommend this.
