Murder's No Votive Confidence by Christin Brecher

3.0

I don't have super strong feelings on this cozy mystery, but it satisfied my need for light, comforting reason right now. This is the first cozy mystery that I've read that has had candle-making as its theme, and I found the technical details of that interesting, especially as someone who has attempted to make candles, soaps, etc only a few times. As is typical many cozy mysteries, the amateur sleuth protagonist uses their skills to help solve murder, and in this case, the main character uses her nose. The book ends with a action chase scene that I laughed at, because it was over-the-top, but in a way that the the reader knows that the author isn't taking herself too seriously.

P.S. I'm not going to lie. One of the reasons why I chose this cozy among other was because of the better-than-average title pun.
