Book Description:

Twenty-something Sissy Yoder never imagined herself running her Aunt Bethel’s café, but her help is needed, so she’s making a go of it. And she must admit that life in tiny Yoder has been anything but
dull–she’s already solved one homicide—after being named the prime suspect in the case! Enjoying a peaceful respite after all that excitement, Sissy just wants to write her advice column, hang out with her loyal Yorkie, Duke, and procure some of local farmer Walt Summers’ scrumptious “To Die For” tomatoes for the Sunshine Café’s menu. But when the unsavory Summers–resented by just about everyone in town–turns up murdered in his garden shed, it’s up to Sissy to roll up her sleeves, dig for some clues, and weed out the culprit . . .

My Thoughts: A Perfect Cozy Mystery

This was a perfect cozy mystery for sure! Sissy, Aunt Bethel and Duke make the perfect sleuths that kept me wondering "who done it" while keeping a smile on my face. While visualizing Aunt Bethel in a few of the situations had me laughing out loud, the mystery kept me guessing and took me quite some time to figure everything out. 

A Murder of Aspic Proportions is a cute mystery mixed with a little romance and some wonderful characters. Add to that some great quotes and you have a real winner of a story.  

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.  All comments and opinions are voluntary and completely my own.
