| -From Goodreads- Even small towns have secrets... Hadley James is finally living the life she's always wanted: making jam and selling it at the local farmers market. When a cat-sitting job turns into a murder investigation, life no longer seems so perfect. Her twin brother, a deputy sheriff, is on the case but they've always done everything together and she can't help but get involved. Following a trail of crafty clues, the James twins learn that their sleepy town might be harboring more darkness than they could've imagined. Recipes from Marisa McClellan, creator of Food in Jars, included: strawberry rhubarb jam and pickled asparagus! ASIN: B07JPM9RYZ It was supposed to be an easy pet-sitting job... Looking for a fun craftsy cozy mystery? Look no further than A Crafty Crime, the first book in Eryn Scott's charming Stoneybrook Mystery series. The author is new to me but the title and the cute audiobook cover caught my fancy so I thought I'd give it a try. |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

The story is a clean read with no real negative content so it's probably suitable for older teens on up. The fact that Hadley is divorced actually makes her realistic and more relatable to a lot of readers. One fun change from the usual cozy mystery is that Hadley's brother is a cop who doesn't spend all of his time trying to chase her and her sidekick best friend out of the case. Sure, he doesn't want her getting into anything dangerous, but he also doesn't dismiss her as a silly amateur.
I enjoyed A Crafty Crime quite a bit. It was a nice break from all that's going on in the world right now and I enjoyed the small town setting, especially the farmer's market scenes. The added recipes that actually pertain to the story was a cool bonus.
I did listen to this first book in the Stoneybrook Mystery series in audio format. The quality of sound seemed to be pretty good to me. The narrator was a good choice for the story and for Eryn Scott's characters. So, if you are looking for a good cozy mystery with a small town setting, a cute cat, and a promise of romance, you should check out this book.
