Gone for Gouda by Korina Moss

Available September 27, 2022

Willa has the opportunity to host a famous cookbook author at Curds & Whey. Phoebe will be gracing everyone's presences by doing a demo of some of her famous cheesy vegan recipes and signing autographs for her adoring fans. Or so she thinks.

Who doesn't love cheese? Really. Even people who can't eat cheese will find ways to make other things look and taste like cheese. And for people who really like cheese (you know... all of us) it almost makes you crazy to read about all the different types of cheeses (my mouth is watering right now). I also personally love reading about people running a little shop and living in an apartment above it, always close to the action. This book also features a fun cast of characters, people who probably couldn't have less in common but who make up a super cozy little family.

This mystery was really fun. The victim was pretty awful so there were no tears shed over her demise and a plethora of people who might have wanted to do her in. There were lots of little clues scattered throughout the story, none of which I caught. The killer came completely out of left field for me but not in such a way that I felt like the author had cheated me out of the opportunity to figure out who had done the dirty deed. This is a pretty rare occurrence for me given the number of cozies I've read!

I've really enjoyed this series so far and look forward to following it for many books to come!
