You Can't Candle the Truth

By Sarah E. Burr

In the charming town of Crucible, New York, murder is about to extinguish the peace.

Hazel Wickbury enjoys a quiet life running her candle shop, A Wick in Time, in a close-knit community where neighbors look out for one another. But when the heir to a billion-dollar empire is found dead, Crucible is shaken to its core.

As the police investigate, their questions have Crucible bubbling with theories and fanning the flames of suspicion against a seemingly innocent person. Determined to uncover the real killer, Hazel enlists the help of Poppy Glenmyre, her cheerful, bighearted aunt and best friend.

As Hazel and Poppy follow a twisting trail of clues, suspicious alibis, and long-held grudges, they discover that even the friendliest neighbors may have secrets worth killing to protect.

With a murderer hiding in plain sight, Hazel and Poppy must shine a light on the truth before another life is snuffed out.

Pour yourself a comforting drink, light your favorite candle, and settle in for an award-winning cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, family, friendship, lovable amateur sleuths, and a puzzling whodunit. Fans of Heather Blake's Wishcraft Mysteries, Bailey Cates' Magical Bakery Mysteries, and Amanda Flower's Magical Bookshop Mysteries will feel right at home with Hazel and Poppy in You Can't Candle the Truth, the first Glenmyre Whim Mystery by Sarah E. Burr.
