In the first book, Harrison Black inherited a Candle Making shop and an old factory turned into shops, he also solved his aunt's murder.

Really? Really??? Aaarrrggghhh!!!!!!

Candlemaking and detective work seem to combine well for Harrison Black.
quick read
A quick and easy read with lots of info about candle making.
Uncomplicated but enjoyable murder mystery that takes place at a candle shop. Clean plot and language. This is the 2nd in the series.
Seriously, a whole series set around a candle shop?
