Candy Coated Secrets by Cynthia Hickey is the page turning sequel to Fudge Laced Felonies. We meet Summer again when a carnival train crashes in front of her house, which in turn leads her into another mystery and danger. After the crash, Summer finds herself leading an elephant to the carnival grounds where after delivering Ginger to her temporary home, she discovers a dead body and thus starts her new adventure. Her fiancee Ethan would love for her to stay out of trouble, and her police officer cousin Joe ends up arresting her to keep her out of his investigation (do you think it works?).

 When you add in people running around in gorilla costumes, another murder, missing money and chocolate you have a recipe for a great read. I really enjoyed this book and hope that Summer has more adventures in the future.
