The second in the Amish Candy shop mysteries revolves around the Amish Confectionery Competition where Bailey King is competing in place of her recently deceased Amish grandfather. As she is setting up her tables, Juliet Brody, mother of the local sheriff's deputy and good friend of her grandmother, comes begging for her to help find Jethro, her small spotted pig, who has gone missing. Instead of finding Jethro, they find another of the competitors, dead and shoved in the organ chamber at the church.

The story revolves around the competition, Bailey searching for the murderer, and explaining a lot about Amish customs. It was a thoroughly enjoyable cozy with a not so obvious murderer. I would give Lethal Licorice a full 4 stars because the story kept moving, was enjoyable, had interesting characters, and a not so obvious conclusion.
