I've read a few boosk by the author and enjoyed them though I wouldn't say she's my favorite. I remember when this was published and there was another book by her that was another new series that got published right at the same time and I remember thinking that it seemed weird. Maybe she felt too much pressure to get both books written and the plot ended up suffering? If I remember correctly she does tend to go a bit subplot heavy but I don't remember the mystery being quite this week in the others. You might want to try the first in her cooking school series. There were some flaws but I remember enjoying it.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.com
