Kayla Jeffries, home bakery owner and HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), has arranged her life just so to avoid stressful overstimulation. The California oceanside community in which she lives proves the perfect venue for the quiet and peaceful existence she desires. She happily spends her time baking, walking along the beach, and spending time with her close friends.
But when Kayla discovers her elderly friend Trudy Dillingham has been strangled, she vows to do anything she must to help bring the killer to justice, including overcoming the stress and sensory overload involved in playing amateur detective. Using her HSP talents of attention to detail and ability to read other people's emotions, Kayla eventually cracks the case, all the while juggling two cats and a dog, non-stop orders for the Christmas holidays, and a budding relationship with handsome restaurateur Jason Banks.
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What an intriguing start to anew series. We meet Kayla who runs a small home bakery while also dealing with her HSP. This makes her an extreme introvert for a nice change. She doesn't let that hold her back when her friend is found dead instead she gets more determined to solve it. Add in some animals and the upcoming holidays to really keep her busy. This is a well written cozy that makes you feel like you are there with its relatable characters that really bring the town to life. A great read for cozy fans and I look forward to more in the series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
