Benjamin Perkins, eldest son of a large family who owns a small soap-making business, finds himself the prime suspect in the murder of Earnest Joy, the cranky old man who owns the jewelry store next door to the Perkins family store. Ben, with some misguided (but well-intentioned) help from his grandfather Paulus Perkins, goes sleuthing again to find Earnest's murderer. This was a very well plotted mystery,which kept me guessing until the end! The characters in this series are well-developed and likable. I really enjoyed all the information included about making your own hand-milled soap.

This is the second book in Tim Myers' soap-making mystery, after "Dead Men Don't Lye." Both of these books are great cozy mysteries!
