About the book 

Piper Prescott and Police Chief Wyatt McBride might have gotten off on the wrong foot but, over the past year, their interactions have evolved into a friendship of sorts. And when the body of Shirley Randolph is found floating in a fishing hole, their relationship reaches entirely new territory.

Shirley, the town’s Realtor of the Year, was also Wyatt’s suspected romantic interest, and now the residents of Brandywine Creek are speculating that Wyatt is responsible for her death. As the town council moves to suspend the handsome lawman, Piper springs into action to save his reputation and possibly his freedom. She enlists the aid of her BFF, Reba Mae Johnson, along with Wyatt himself, to help solve the puzzle and find Shirley’s real killer.

Pointing them toward high-powered real estate tactics and possible affairs, the investigation soon becomes personal when Piper’s shop, Spice It Up!, is burglarized, and she’s forced off the road late one night, narrowly escaping serious injury. Realizing that she must be close to uncovering the truth, and that the evidence against Wyatt is no longer circumstantial, Piper resorts to drastic measures to prevent a grave miscarriage of justice.

And others thought 

This mystery is nicely seasoned with plenty of humor. Small town life lends well to that as does small-town politics. . . Then you add in the Southern ways and charm, and you have a perfect cozy mystery.

I adore Piper and her spice shop, the community of friends and foes, along with wonderful mysteries.

And I thought 

I am not sure I could have even liked any better if I had read the first 4 before this one. 
Ginger Snapped was a fun cozy read.  I couldn't help but 'root' for Piper and Wyatt and their budding romance(?).  And of course who would want him to be the bad guy. 
But when the rumor is that he had something goin' with the deceased Piper is a little hmmmm.  That doesn't stop her from 
wanting to clear Wyatt's name.  
Although the two seem to have had some differences in the past.
As Piper and her best friend Reba Mae sleuth to find the answers to clear Wyatt's name things begin to _______.  Giving nothing away here.  
Other than Ginger Snapped was a great read that made me 
want more!  
And the recipes in the back made me want to get into the kitchen.
