This is the first Tim Myers book I've read, but it won't be the last! I really liked having a man as the main character. The book was well thought out, and the characters stand out as individuals, not just fluff in the background. The setting is nice, and the information about candlemaking is the right amount without being over or underwhelming. I'll be looking for other books by Myers in the future.

In this second story in Tim Myers'Candlemaking mystery series, young Harrison Black is enjoying his new life in Micah's Ridge, North Carolina, running the candle shop which he inherited from his great-aunt Belle. Tragedy strikes the River's Edge community again when there is a power outage one evening, and Harrison discovers that the power outage is caused by the electrocution of one of the other tenants in the building, the potter Aaron Gaston. Harrison can't help but wonder whether or not Aaron's death is really an accident when he learns that the potter always did his work on a manual potter's wheel, and didn't use the electric wheel in his store.

Harrison Black is a wonderful character, and in this second story we get to know him much better. After inheriting At Wick's End, Harrison finds himself a very busy young man, with "a business to run, a complex to watch over, and, if time permitted, a murder to solve." Not to mention trying to find a date in Micah's Ridge. As far as I'm concerned, the story line of "Snuffed Out" dealt a little too much with Harrison's every day schedule of running the business, and didn't spend enough time on solving the mystery. Poof! In the last ten pages he suddenly solves the mystery. However, the book was fun and enjoyable. I hope the next book in this series will spend a bit more time on developing the mystery and giving the reader some clues as well.

The second book in Myer's series about a fellow who inherits his great aunt's candle shop in a small town in the South. It's a short little book, but pleasant to read. The actual mystery is less of the focus than the pleasant daily life in the shop.

It's cozy, it's pleasant reading, and it's enjoyable.

This is the second book in the Candlemaking series and it was just as good as the first! The book was a quick, short read at 180 pages. Despite that, it was enough time for more character development of the tenants at River's Edge. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

I really am enjoying this little mystery series. It is written in such a way that you feel you are right there and Harrison is such a regular person you feel like oyu know him. I wish there were more than 4 in the series. Maybe someday he will write more. I am reading his Lighthouse series next.
