Only two things might ruin fudge maker Allie McMurphy's wedding- murder-and her mother . . .
June is always beautiful on Mackinac Island, which is why Allie chose this month for her wedding to police officer Rex Manning-definitely Mackinac Island's finest in more ways than one. But if her mother has her way, that's the last choice Allie will get to make. Allie's the furthest thing from a Bridezilla-but it looks like she has a Momzilla on her hands. Why else have her mother and extended family shown up a full two weeks before the nuptials to drive Allie to dizzying distraction?

Honestly, a murder investigation is far less stressful-and as it happens, Allie just found Velma French dead on the ground beside the rock that killed her, with her rival Myrtle sobbing nearby. Things don't look good for Myrtle, but all may not be what it seems. Allie vows to solve the crime before she walks down the aisle. But a killer has other ideas - and they seem to be focused on Allie herself. . .

Reviews for Fudge and Marriage

Praise for the Candy-Coated Mystery Series by Nancy Coco   “Suspects are ultimately uncovered and problems solved in a delightful cozy larded with appetizing fudge recipes.” —Kirkus Reviews on Three Fudges and a Baby   ““An enjoyable character-driven whodunit that mixes murder with a touch of romance and the requisite sweet treats.” —Kirkus Reviews on Give Fudge a Chance   “This was another terrific installment of the long-running series, with very realistic 21st-century conversations and complications.” —Criminal Element on Give Fudge a Chance   “Charming characters and settings make for a pleasant stop before trying your hand at the fudge recipes.” —Kirkus on A Midsummer Night’s Fudge   “Allie is an intrepid sleuth who’s fortunate to be surrounded by so many loved ones as she tries to stop a killer from doing more harm.” —Criminal Element on A Midsummer Night’s Fudge   “This cleverly plotted eighth installment in the Candy Coated Mystery series had me constantly second-guessing whodunnit while admiring Nancy Coco’s craftsmanship.” —Criminal Element on Have Yourself A Fudgy Little Christmas   “Two nasty murders, charming surviving characters, plenty of Christmas cheer, and enough fudge recipes for a major sugar rush.” —Kirkus Review on Have Yourself A Fudgy Little Christmas   “HAVE YOURSELF A FUDGY LITTLE CHRISTMAS is a mix of small-town Christmas delights with intrigue and murder thrown in.” —Fresh Fiction on Have Yourself A Fudgy Little Christmas   “An easy romantic read complete with fudge recipes that make it even sweeter.” —Kirkus Reviews on Fudge Bites    “There’s a few scenes of Allie making fudge that are so wonderfully described that my mouth began watering. I could smell the fudge coming off the pages…. I am delighted with the characters, the setting, and the fun recipes. I really want to see where Allie and Rex go with their relationship, and how Allie fares with the hotel and her fudge shop. This is a fun and fast paced cozy mystery that would be perfect for a weekend in, under cozy blankets with a mug of hot cocoa.” —Criminal Element on Fudge Bites   “Fudge Bites is full of disguises, danger, and one determined amateur sleuth. At the end of this book, Nany Coco gives a hint about which way things are leaning for Allie’s love life. As expected, FUDGE BITES is packed with super yummy fall favorites-flavored fudge recipes. I look forward to reading the next “Candy-Coated” mystery.” —Fresh Fiction on Fudge Bites   “Full of humor, adorable animals and some mystery twists, this is a sweet series for cozy mystery readers.” —Parkersburg News & Sentinel on Fudge Bites   “It’s all fun and games at the annual Halloween zombie walk charity event until fudge shop owner Allie McMurphy stumbles upon a real murder…With the help of handsome officer Rex Manning, the duo must use every trick in their treat bag to unmask the killer!” —Woman’s World on Fudge Bites   “This was a delightful visit to a charming community that raised some interesting questions about fitting in and what it means to truly be considered a full-time resident.” —Criminal Element on Fudge Bites   “Nancy Coco paints us a pretty picture of this charming island setting where the main mode of transportation is a horse-drawn vehicle. She also gives us a delicious mystery complete with doses of her home-made fudge…a perfect read to wrap up your summer!” —Wonder Women Sixty on Forever Fudge   “Oh, Fudge is a charming cozy, the sixth in the Candy-Coated Mystery series. But be warned: there’s a candy recipe at the end of each chapter, so don’t read this one when you’re hungry!""—Suspense Magazine on Oh, Fudge
