Description



About the Book



"Winter in Balsam Dell is a snowy affair, and to add in some cheer after the holidays Carly's former classmate Klarissa Taddeo is hosting her extravagant bridal shower at the historic Balsam Dell inn. But when a double-booking throws some mold in the cheese, Klarissa is left scrambling. Dawn, the maid of honor and wedding planner, saves the day by moving the shower to her family's mansion and books Carly to cater the party. It seems the group is going to pull off the shower without a hitch. That is, until Klarissa's fiance crashes the event. She's furious with her groom-to-be and when a loud argument ensues, everyone is shocked by what they hear. When the groom is later found dead at the bottom of the stairs, his drink spiked with a hefty dose of poison, Carly must put her nose to the rind and save Klarissa from being suspect #1. Because you know what they say: it's always the (almost) wife."--



Book Synopsis



"A complex mystery and yummy grilled cheese recipes. What's not to like?"-- Kirkus Reviews

A cozy wedding shower turns criminal when the groom ends up dead--and grilled cheese café owner Carly Hale is on the case.

Carly Hale thought catering a bridal shower would be a chance to show off her newest grilled cheese creations--not get tangled in another murder. But when the groom crashes the party and doesn't make it out alive, things go from melty to messy fast.

The bride's blow-up with her fiancé was dramatic, sure--but murder? Carly's not so sure. With her friend under suspicion and the whole town speculating, Carly can't help poking around. After all, she's got a knack for uncovering secrets--and a few loyal locals (and one adorable pup) on her side.

As clues stack up like a triple-decker sandwich, Carly follows the trail through jealous rivals, wedding drama, and a mystery that's anything but cold.

Set in snowy Balsam Dell, Cheddar Late Than Dead delivers all the cozy charm, small-town gossip, and toasty suspense fans of the genre love. Warm, witty, and satisfying to the last page.

There Falls the Groom Down the Stairs

Carly Hale is surprised when Dawn and Klarissa walk into her restaurant. While she knew them in school, she hasn’t seen them since she’s been back in Balsam Dell, Vermont. The chance encounter winds up with Carly catering Klarissa’s wedding shower. But the day of the shower is filled with more tension than Carly expected. Things only get worse when the groom crashes the party. A little while later, Carly finds him at the bottom of the stairs, dead. Who would want to kill him? This book starts off quickly, introducing us to suspects and conflict before the murder happens, then gives us some great twists that kept me reading. The climax logically resolves things, although I did have a couple of small niggles with the ending. It was great to see the characters again, and I like how their relationships are growing. There are some great new characters, including strong suspects. Meanwhile, the book introduces us to grilled cheese donuts, including a recipe in the back. If you are hungry for a fun cozy, pick this one up.
