\u201cMy anxiety is through the roof. Can you call them?\u201d Sheldon pleaded. \u201cIf they forgot about our order, or the kitchen caught on fire, or the desserts fell out of the truck and are now scattered all over Main Street, I need to know. Argh!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And although Nora is slowly becoming far more than her own past (as are all her friends) she continues to own that past and her own mistakes–redemption is a large part of the story.<\/p>\n

The mystery was decent, and took multiple swerves to keep you guessing. <\/p>\n

I will say that although most of the characters get redemption arcs, the bad guy here is rather flat and one note. But that’s possibly because much of the story is dedicated to the healing of another of the main characters.<\/p>\n
