Off the Shelf -- Cheddar Late Than Dead

 

The third entry in the Grilled Cheese Eatery series finds our heroine, Carly unexpectedly catering the bridal shower of a high school friend.  She is drawn into investigating after the groom collapses and dies after crashing the gathering and her friend is the prime suspect.

I enjoyed this title more than the others in the series.  The mystery is layered, relationship dynamics explored.  I feel like we're finally finding some of who these characters are.  There was a little more meat here than in previous entries in the series.  I like Carly's relationship with her staff and her family.  The chaste, innocence in her relationship with Ari is the odd point for me.  She is a widow with relationship experience so that part feels off at times.  

The opinions expressed are mine and given freely.  Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity!
