Publisher's summary

The second book in the Sandy Bay Cozy Mystery series!

When Sandy Bay’s crème de la crème congregate to raise money for charity, Meghan Truman is proud to have her tasty desserts the talk of the party. She’s not so proud when the wealthiest couple in Sandy Bay are discovered dead and rumors circulate around town that her brownies are the cause of this tragedy.

This murder case casts a dark shadow over Meghan’s budding romance with handsome Officer Irvin who’s disappointed that she’s once again at the center of another murder investigation.

With everything to lose, Meghan must work hard to clear her name, restore broken relationships, and solve this murder mystery before everything she’s worked so hard to build comes crumbling down.

The second book in the Sandy Bay Cozy Mystery series can be enjoyed in one or two hours! Can be heard as a stand-alone, but is better enjoyed as part of a series. Perfect for a lunchtime listen. If you love cozy mysteries with an amateur female sleuth, mouthwatering culinary desserts, and a gripping murder mystery, then you'll love Meghan Truman and the quirky characters in Sandy Bay!

No cliffhanger, swearing, or graphic scenes!

Treats to kill

Good clean read and a few twists and turns. Great to listen to while driving or trying to relax after stressful day

Great book! Who doesn't love Brownies or a good mystery!

Good narration. Love the storyline. Started with this book in the series which is #2 so now I am going to find book 1. The older woman sounds like someone you would enjoy meeting in real life. I can't wait to find out in the next book3 if Megan and officer Jack become a couple. Megan's assistant sounds like a sweet young lady who is also a friend to her and an asset in the town and her business. Poor Megan to be accused twice of murder by using her food from her business can not be easy to deal with and to be able to clear her name. Priceless! Now how much will her business increase?

Perfect for young mystery lovers

The plot is fine for a cozy and it certainly meets all the criteria for a cozy. It’s just that the sentence structure and dialogue kept reminding me that I was listening to a middle school book. It’s very light listening for anyone at any age and there is little bit of excitement to provide interest.

Another Dessert related mystery!

This is the second story in the Sandy Bay Mystery series. Meghan's bakery is finally doing well again after being blamed for murder in the last story. She is asked to provide brownies for a charity, and of course someone is murdered. What follows is some funny events that lead to the actual murderer. I found this one just as entertaining and interesting as the last one. Definitely enjoyable and Elena Marino is a wonderful narrator.

So enjoyable

Brownies and Dark Shadows (Sandy Bay Cozy Mystery Book 2). Well-written & enjoyable. another cute, clean cozy mystery. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I was impressed and enjoyed the vocal variety & inflections of narrator Stephanie Elena Marino who was absolutely outstanding. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author as I get them. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Great Clean Cozy Mystery

2nd in the series but a great stand alone book in Sandy Bay. Meghan makes great tasting brownies. Kristy runs a charity event. Kristy goes to Meghan and talks her into supplying the dessert for the charitable event as it could give her bakery exposure. Now you have two deaths and cancellations of large orders. Meghan is beside herself no one is buying from her shop. The characters are believable and likable. The storyline is interesting with twists and turns. Elana Merino does a great job with narration to maintain your interest. I enjoyed this book.

Cute

Story was cute But predictable. Not hard to guess who did it at all. Good characters
