Cheddar Late Than Dead by Linda Reilly - 4 Stars!

 


It's winter in Balsam Dell and Carly's former classmate Klarissa Taddeo is hosting her 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 creating a new delicious treat it seems the group is going to pull off the shower without a hitch. That is, until a band of groomsmen crashes the event. Klarissa is furious with her fiancé and when a loud argument ensues, everyone is shocked by what they hear. When the fiancé is later found dead at the bottom of the stairs, Carly must put her nose to the rind and save Klarissa from being the main suspect.
This is another mystery full of intrigue, suspense, great characters and lots of cheese! I love Carly and how she solves mysteries using her intellect and observation skills. The cops in this series are not dumb or seen as incompetent. Carly works with them, although grudgingly at times, and always shows them respect. The plot had enough red herrings to confuse me enough that I was surprised by the outcome in the end. I want to thank NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the honor of reading this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
