Plus, special bunny Whiskers lends a magical paw to the detecting since Felicity can’t and won’t relax until she restores both order and magic to her world.
My Review
A small group of former high school classmates gather at the Pixie Inn for a reunion. Felicity Jin is hired to deliver a supply of her magical pastries which includes her new almond cookies. Everything is going well, until tragedy strikes.
The head of the group drowns in the bathtub after eating one of Felicity’s pastries. All eyes are on Felicity since the victim had an allergy to nuts and may have eaten an almond cookie.
Felicity sets out to find out what happened. Along with her boyfriend Kelvin and her bunny Whiskers, they vow to clear Felicity’s name and find the real culprit.
This is the third book in the Magical Fortune Cookie series, and I think it’s the best yet. I loved it. The mystery is contained and solved in this book. No cliffhangers. I don’t think you have to read the previous two books, but I highly recommend that they be read in order. It gives the reader a chance to see Felicity and Kelvin’s relationship develop from best friends to boyfriend/girlfriend. It, also, gives the reader the opportunity to be introduced to the rest of the cast and see what makes them tick.
The mystical bunny, Whiskers, is a fun character. It’s unusual to have a bunny playing a starring role in the series, but it adds to the enjoyment of the series.
I found the storyline to be fast paced with characters I have come to care about. I want to read more about Felicity and Kelvin as well as the rest of the cast.
This made for a few days of delightful reading. My one complaint - I was craving pastries throughout the whole book.
