A visit to Spicetown turns deadly...
The latest book in the series was as good as the previous books. The mystery was complex and filled with "red herrings"! I love the characters and the fact that there are two main characters - Cora (the Mayor) and Conrad (the Police Chief). They make a wonderful sleuthing team! The supporting characters have a familiar feel and add to the book.

Two Stories of Spicetown's Mayor and Police
The story is of the police chief adopting a dog from the shelter only to find he apparently is law enforcement trained, including drug sniffing. A young man dies of a drug overdose and when the chief takes the dog to the high school, he alerts at eight lockers. The mayor and the chief and his force are dedicated to getting drugs out of their town. This brings today's drug problems with teens and adults. Very well done. ...more

Fabulous series. You want to visit Spicetown!
This was a cute, cozy mystery book with likeable characters (some not so much) and an interesting plot that highlights the problem of drugs in schools. Set in a charming small town in southern Ohio, the book centers around the mayor and her dynamic leadership to open a new community center and plan events throughout the year to involve the community. Part of this plan is staging a play with a cast made up of local people. Cute idea, very heartening. The mayor's relationship with the police chief
