Harrison Black is busy learning the ins and outs of being a candle shop owner and landlord. It is the landlord part that causes him to find the body of Aaron Gaston the owner of the pottery shop. Unfortunately, what appears to be a tragic accident isn't. Because he can't afford to have any vacancies in his building, Harrison rents the pottery shop to the ex-wife of the previous owner. However, no one bothers to fill him in about the bad blood between the rest of the shop owners and her which causes Harrison even more headaches. Thus he finds himself dealing with two problems...a murder and a group of angry tenants, one of whom is threatening to leave.

I had a bit of a problem with how the shop owners turned against Harrison because of his decision to rent to the ex-wife even when he assured them it was on a trial basis only. Of course, I suppose it could be part of human nature of that ignorance is not an excuse.

This was a quick read. If you liked the first book in the series, I don't think you are going to be disappointed with this next book.
