Cheddar Late Than Dead by Linda Reilly

 

Synopsis:

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. That is, until a double-booking throws some mold in the cheese and leaves Klarissa scrambling. With the venue moved to the maid of honor's family mansion and Carly rinding to create a new delicious treat it seems the group is going to pull off the shower without a hitch.

That is, until a rowdy band of groomsmen crashes the event. Klarissa is 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.

Review:

Cheddar Late Than Dead by Linda Reilly is the third book of Grilled Cheese Mysteries series, but it can be read as a standalone.

In this installment Carly is hired by an old school friend to serve her grilled cheese delicacies at her wedding shower. During the party the future husband dies. Carly's sleuth senses instantly tingle so she begins to investigate.

I once again enjoyed Carly's search of the culprit. It’s very entertaining to read how she always finds herself caught up in murders, and how her friends would prefer she rather leave the work to police.

The mystery is good with lots of suspects and some surprises.

Read it and try to uncover the truth before our heroine, I'm so happy I did it.
