I enjoyed this follow-up to Body and Soul Food. The premise is that a brother and sister, who are twins, were separated when the sister was adopted at a young age. The brother finds her when they are adults, and they become fast friends. She works at the local library, and he loves to bake, so they open a bookshop / bakery called Books & Biscuits. All is going well, until a murder happens in their sleepy town on the shores of Puget Sound. Inspired by the cozy mysteries Keaton loves to read, they became amateur sleuths to solve the mystery. I love cozy mysteries and this series checks all the boxes I enjoy in the genre. Cute cafe, book talk, lovable characters.
