Harrison Black, owner of At Wick’s End, decides to have a table at the Founder’s Day celebration in New Conover, NC, to try to increase his business in the face of possibly being run out of business. Gretel Barnett has recently opened Flickering Lights and had vowed to put At Wick’s End out of business.

At the Founder’s Day celebration, Harrison doesn’t hear the shot that kills Gretel, but he is soon the prime suspect of the shooting.

Although Harrison would rather leave the investigating to the police, he is soon pulled in to help clear his name. In the process he gets pulled in deeper and deeper. Can he uncover the killer and save At Wick’s End?

I thought was a great installment in the candlemaking series. I really like Harrison Black. I don’t know anything about candlemaking, so I always feel like I learn something when I read the books in this series.

This cozy series is wonderfully set in a small town. The author has captured the feel of a southern small town. The interaction between Harrison and Eve, his employee who was thrust upon him when he inherited At Wick’s End, is progressing at a very believable pace.

I look forward to reading more in this series. I highly recommend this book.
