The author of Maple Mayhem returns to Sugar Grove, New Hampshire, where the Greene family—including Dani’s irksome Aunt Hazel—are busy preparing for the annual Maple Festival. But nothing kills the festive spirit like murder…
Aunt Hazel isn’t exactly sweet, but she’s not the only one putting syrup maker Dani in a sour mood. Her family is trying to help renovate the town’s Opera House, but their contractor Russ Collins seems to specialize in finely crafted excuses. And his latest one is killer.
In the Opera House basement, Russ uncovers the remains of Spooner Duffy, a charming drifter thought to have skipped town decades ago with a hefty sum of the town’s money. Tapping into some unpleasant memories, Spooner’s bones also threaten to reveal a murderer’s secret, and now it’s up to Dani to catch a killer before the town is stuck with a deadly reputation.

Jennifer’s Review of A Sticky Situation
Review (4 Stars): This is the third book in the Sugar Grove mystery series and I absolutely adored Dani in this book. I loved the humor that was sprinkled throughout this book and the lengths that Dani and her family went to trying to avoid spending time with Aunt Hazel. The mystery was very entertaining because it was very complex and well-written and is bound to please cozy readers alike. A Sticky Situation was a fun romp with fascinating characters and a spunky heroine that is absolutely delightful. Looking forward to read the next book in the series to see what Dani finds herself involved in next.

Well I, for one, am thrilled to be introduced to Jessie and her writing! I love hard core thrillers and cozy mysteries alike. I also love the Eastern U.S. as my maternal grandparents hail from there. I became quite familiar with the small towns in Vermont and Maine where my grandparents lived and worked. My brother was an artist in his younger years and I still have hanging in my home a picture he did of the Vermonters gathering maple syrup from their trees in the snow. And I use nothing but REAL maple syrup when I’m cooking…nothing beats that taste! In any event, I’m glad I “met” Jessie on your blog today and I just bought Live Free or Die on Amazon to start me off on her books. Thanks for your post.
