Sugar
Mountain Book 1
A
cozy mountain town, a sweet romance, and a secret society of sneaky
women…
The
sleepy hamlet of Sugar Mountain harbors a secret society of women.
Don’t misunderstand—the society itself is not secret—it’s the
true nature of the group that is hush-hush.
Sugar
Mountain is the kind of charming village that tourists adore. If you
like small-town charm, quirky shops, and local art, this is the place
for you. But when a blood smeared package shows up at the post office
and it appears to be linked to a scheme that threatens Heidi
Collinsworth’s historic home, the town takes on a sinister vibe.
Heidi would lay odds that slimy Mayor Winslow is involved, but even
with the enquiring skills of The Sugar Mountain Ladies Historical
Society at work, proof is scarce.
The
new guy in town, Adam Williams, is determined not to get involved in
Sugar Mountain’s business. His last job in a big city planning
office ruined his life, but Heidi needs his help. No matter how hard
he tries to stay detached, Adam finds himself eyeball deep in Heidi’s
problems, as well as the needs of her teenage son and a homeless
dog.
With
conflicting theories abound and tensions running high, it’s up to
the ladies of the society to don disguises and go undercover. If
they’re not careful, the town may fall to a wrecking ball, Heidi
may fall for Adam, and the secret society will be exposed.
Meet
the cast of colorful characters in this charming and zany
introduction to a whole new series of romantic, cozy mysteries!

My review: When Kindergarten teacher, Sarah, receives a threatening note, the Sugar Mountain Ladies Historical Society are on the case. Could it have anything to do with the shortage of fire fighters in town?
Comprised of women around town that work various jobs, the ladies society acts as an underground espionage group—very top secret and very interesting! Occasionally, you get some babbling at the meetings and sometimes there were a few too many ladies to keep track of.
The narrative is pretty nice and easy-going, but it can be kind of slow at times. All the ladies do is try to gather information from the gossipers in town. Too much time was spent on that rather than trying to figure out who sent the threatening note.
A decent read, but it takes a while for the smoke to clear up.
My rating: 3 stars
