Summary
Delicious food, sleuthing cats, and small-town murder!
Mallory Beck never imagined she’d be Honeysuckle Grove’s next amateur sleuth. After all, she was more at home with a muffin tin than a magnifying glass. But when a casserole delivery to a grieving family leads to her unexpectedly solving her first murder, Mallory realizes life in her quiet little town isn’t as peaceful as it seems.
What was supposed to be a simple contribution to the church picnic potluck quickly spirals into a deadly mystery, involving a sarcastic teenager, a charming cop with green eyes, and a cat with an uncanny knack for sniffing out trouble.
Can Mallory uncover the truth before the picnic turns into a full-blown crime scene? It’s a race against time in this cozy culinary caper!

This book continues on from the first book with Mallory promise to attend a church picnic with her teenage friend Amber. Don't worry you don't need to have read the first book to enjoy, as each book is a standalone mystery and despite the church connection it's not religious or preachy in away. So sit back and get caught up in a good mystery.
I like the characters and am glad Mallory and Amber are still helping each other with there grief (it's not sad, so don't let that put you off either, it's just how they met in the first book and formed a friendship) not to mention helping Alex the not quite detective investigate.
The mystery was good with a lot going on and a number of suspects to keep you guessing. I had no clue who the killer was but it played out at quick pace and come together nicely. Looking forward to the next audio book.
Amber talks Mallory into joining her at the church picnic in the park, only to discover the park in chaos. With the church gathering one side and a wedding on the other, the park is not big enough for both of the children running around with nerf guns . Unable to reschedule the church event the pastor tries to find a compromise but the bride is not happy or willing to back down. That is until she is stung by a bee, when her EpiPen doesn't work she is taken to hospital. It's only after her death that it is discovered that it wasn't a bee sting. When the pastor is struck by the same weapon it seems like the death was a lot more premeditated than first thought. With Alex still being hampered by his boss, Mallory sets out to help him investigate by taking casseroles from the church to the grieving family members. Can she help him discover who would want me he bride dead?
I like the narrator. She helpedt to bring the characters to life before your very eyes and make the story so easy to picture.
