Book 9 of 17: Samantha Sweet Magical Cozy Mysteries

See all formats and editions

USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton brings a bit of magic and a whole lot of chocolate to the latest in her cozy Sweets series.
Two things are weighing on Samantha Sweet’s mind this summer—organizing the Sweet Somethings chocolate festival in Taos and tracking down information on the mystical carved wooden box that came into her life nearly two years ago, changing her life forever. At last, she believes she has located the person who can give the answers.

The festival is behind schedule, committee members are at each others’ throats, competitors are after the big prize money and hungry crowds will soon be gathering at the gates. A slew of conflicting personalities are going at each other, and Sam is holding her breath, certain that this will not turn out well. When someone does indeed turn up dead, the trick is to find out who among the many parties committed the dirty deed.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Beau has his own set of problems trying to keep order at an encampment of free-spirited hippies who have moved into the area, so Sam is mostly on her own to keep the chocolate festival on track and find a killer. And the magic box? What Sam learns is that its powers are greater than she ever imagined, its history much more convoluted.

"Connie Shelton gets better with every book she writes." --The Midwest Book Review

Having fun with my writing, and connecting with readers--that's what being a mystery writer means to me. And I LOVE what I do!

It began in 1985 when I started writing my first novel, without much clue how to go about it. Two years and 500 pages later, when I finally typed 'The End,' I felt a huge rush of excitement. That book took third place in the Southwest Writers competition and began making the rounds of publishers. I simply started writing my second, and then my third books.

After publishing ten of my Charlie Parker mysteries, I decided to branch out with a new cozy mystery series and I created the character of Samantha Sweet. One of the ways in which I earned a little extra pocket money during my high school years was to bake and decorate cakes--hence, a career for Samantha based on my own experiences.

In 2009 I switched publishers and was off on a new adventure, seeing all of my books made available for Kindle as e-books were just beginning to take off in the book world. It's been an exciting time in publishing--high points for me were reaching #1 on Amazon a few times and the Top 50 on the USA Today bestseller list. I'm loving the way e-books allow me to personally connect with readers all over the world via my newsletter and my website at connieshelton.com.

I have now read all nine books in the series about Samantha Sweets and her mysterious box. I hope there will be more. The combination of murder mystery, fantasy, and delicious sounding baked goods is irresistible.

A Sweet Delight!

Reviewed in the United States on 29 July 2014

Another well-written mystery by Connie Shelton. Once you get to know characters that are so well written like Samantha and Beau, you really want to know what happens to them...and Shelton delivers. The main characters continue with their lives as a newly married couple...with some unique plot twists both revolving around their respective jobs. There's a festival, lots of chocolate, a death, and a fire that is encroaching upon Beau and Sam's homestead. The chocolate will have you drooling. The fire and those who caused it will spark some thinking about how we interact with others and our environment. The death of course brings up questions that must be answered. Through it all, we learn a little more about Sam's mysterious wooden box. Just enough to tease the reader but not enough to answer all of the questions. Much like real life! Well done. Already I'm looking forward to the next installment. While you do not have to read the first 8 in the series to enjoy this one, it does help to know the background by reading the earlier books - it builds a sense of belonging and family with the characters.

Another Sweet story of beloved Sam

Reviewed in the United States on 9 October 2014

Perhaps, my least favorite Sam's story. It seemed slow to grab my attention; however, it picked up as I read. Once again, Connie Shelton has the ability to create loveable characters and sustain the mystery and intrigue throughout.
