Hard Dough Homicide ~ Spice Isle Bakery #2 (by Olivia Matthews)

This is the second book in the Spice Isle Bakery series. I did not read the first one and I think that affected my opinion of this particular book. There were several things that kept me from enjoying the story. First of all, there was a lot of repetitiveness. I do not need to be told over and over that the bakery is blond wood. And are we still talking about being bullied in high school? I would think you would have moved on by this point in time in your life. Another issue that bugged me was the way the police were presented as incompetent. That just hit me the wrong way and turned me off from being able to enjoy the story and the mystery aspect.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Paperbacks for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
