Drizzled with Death By: Jessie Crockett


This book was excellent!  The main character, Dani Greene, was very likable.  I added this title to my pile of "must read" books because it is set in New Hampshire, which is where I am living.  I really enjoy books that are set in New England.  
Dani operates her own business of maple syrup making called Greener Pastures.  The syrup was being used for a pancake eating contest where someone was poisoned and all fingers pointed to her company.  Dani is trying to get her company organically certified so this was a problem.  Dani decided to help in figuring out what was going on.  To throw in an interesting story-line the author added a truck load of escapee exotic animals.  This brought in Graham the Fish and Game officer.  Dani and Graham had a playful relationship.  The Greene family was also a bonus.  I could relate with the way the family acted.  They all love each other and spend lots of time with one another.  Dani will always have people on her side trying to get her married and not become a lonely spinster, but it is all out of love.  The characters in the town were perfectly crafted as well.
Another thing I want to mention is the writing style.  The author did not have the main character over analyze who may have killed Alanza.  It was more of a story than just reflecting on who done it.  I am definitely going to read the next book in this series!
