Loading... Cake and Corruption (A Sweetwater Springs Southern Mystery Book 6) (edition 2021)by S.C. Merritt (Author)Cake and Corruption by S.C. Merritt is the sixth book in the Sweetwater Springs Southern Mysteries, and even though I haven’t read the previous books, I had no problem following along with what was happening. Although I will say, in Cake and Corruption we find out Glory’s husband’s killer which would have had way more of an impact on me if I would have started with book one. So don’t be like me and dive in with book six, instead start with book one, Potluck and Pandemonium! Merritt’s cast of characters are wonderful. You get doses of sweet southern hospitality mixed strong faith values (which don’t get shoved down your throat), and the family dynamic is so nice to see because everyone communicates and you can really tell that they love each other. Combine that with The Family (aka mob) that is marrying into the family, and has been part of previous books, and you are in for a great reading experience. The mystery had lots of layers to it too and Merritt is a master at keeping so many different story lines and suspects straight in the reader’s mind. All in all, a fantastic book and I highly recommend you check out the Sweetwater Springs Southern Mysteries. |
