Dead Men Don't Lye by Tim Myers review

The first in the Soap-making series by Tim Myers.  The main character, Benjamin Perkins, is the oldest in his family, with 6 brothers and sisters.  His family owns and runs a soap-making business, where he is more or less the trouble shooter, helping out wherever he can.

One morning he comes to work and discovers the body of a man at the back entrance.  The man had died by having lye thrown in his face.  Because his sister had been slightly involved with the man, Ben decides he had to help the police do a little investigating into the death, at the behest of his mother who wants to keep her daughter out of the investigation.

I enjoyed reading this light, easy mystery.  There are relationships explored, a little romance, and a little self-discovery.

I'll probably be reading more in the series.
