A Case for the Candle Maker (Ainsley McGregor Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 885 ratings

Play with candles and you might get burned…

Ainsley McGregor has her hands full preparing for Sweet River’s Valentine’s Day celebration and her bestie’s wedding. So when a mysterious woman pitches selling her candles in Ainsley’s shop, Bless Your Art, Ainsley nearly blows her off. But the candle’s fragrance is evocative, and she can’t resist placing an order.

The candles are a hit, quickly selling out, but when Ainsley calls the woman to buy more, she’s unreachable. Hoping to connect, Ainsley and her Great Dane, George Clooney, stop by the local bed and breakfast. When George whines outside her room, Ainsley is afraid to look. She soon discovers that the candle maker is dead—in a room that was locked from the inside.

Although her brother, the town sheriff, is on the case, Ainsley believes the prime suspect is innocent. Intent to prove it, Ainsley once again drops into sleuth mode, discovering some surprising truths about the mystery woman. But has she just put herself in the killer’s crosshairs?

    Great characters and great relationships between the characters. Although Ainsley is the lead character, Shannon, Greg, Jake, Kane, and the others are equally unforgettable. Enjoyable and engaging dialogue between characters. Nice, clean interactions between people who are in love with each other. How can I forget George?
    Good storyline, enjoyable, page turning reading.

    Interesting murder mystery, I enjoyed getting the know the characters. Ainsley isn't a bad sleuth, although I thought it was crazy of her to run out in the street looking for the killer. The killer is driving a car and Ainsley stands in the middle of the street which seemed to me to be a pretty dumb move. Which it turned out to be as she would have been run over if not for a friend pushing her out of the street. Good ending.

    The story moved along well. The characters are well described and interesting. Even though it is book four, I had no problem getting to know all the people. I liked the ending.

    3.0 out of 5 stars an okay read
    Reviewed in Australia on April 1, 2024
    This story is a clean read. While there was drama, it was a very goody two shoes town and people, over the top wonderful, almost sickly. It just didn’t go with a couple of murders . Kind of like two different tropes trying to be one story. Doesn’t quite work.
