This is one of my favorite cozy series. I've read them all and enjoyed them all.

Here comes the but: I seriously wanted to reach into the book and deck Angie at the beginning. Mel was bullied relentlessly in high school, but Angie has her sights set on the three of them going to their 15th high school reunion (and baking 500 cupcakes for the event). Despite the fact that Mel vociferously objects, Angie manipulates her into saying yes. That's the only way to state it - straight out manipulation. I couldn't figure out why they couldn't just bake cupcakes for the event, and stay home. But Angie orders it, so tough luck Mel. She was such a bitch at the beginning. No other way to put it.

In addition, as Angie and Tate have been married for six minutes, it's time to start a family. And Tate won't let Angie do anything to hurt the maybe, possibly pregnant Angie. Multiple times he told her she needed to be careful when she wasn't doing a damn thing. I can't believe her character would be okay with being ordered around by her husband, especially when she fights her brothers so hard when they attempt to protect her. I found myself rolling my eyes way to much at the two of them.

Regardless, the mystery was hard to anticipate and despite the fact that the victim was an absolutely horrible human being, I still cared who killed her. I'll read the next one, but this one left me a bit annoyed.
