Sophie is hired to plan a party for the Cheesecake Queen of Old Town the caveat is she can’t serve Cheesecake. When Bobbie Sue’s husband doesn’t show up for her party, Bobbie Sue is concerned but not enough to call the police.
When Tate still hasn’t come home by the early morning Bobbie Sue calls Sophie and asks for help finding her husband. Sophie and her best friend Nina go along with Bobbie Sue to search for Tate. Sophie is the one to find him, dead in his restaurant’s basement.
At first, Bobbie Sue tries to hire Sophie to find out what happened, but as time passes Bobbie Sue changes her tune and tells her to back off. When Bernie a friend of Sophie and owner of a competing restaurant is accused of Tate’s murder, Sophie can’t leave it alone and has to find out who killed him.
The mystery was very well done, a lot of twists and turns. Natasha is still part of the story, but not nearly as annoying as previous books.
I always worry that as a series progresses the series will decline in quality. I can say this one is as good; (dare I say even better?) than earlier books.
If you love cozy mysteries, lots of food references, and a amateur detective with a dog you’ll love this book.
