Book Review: Pancakes and Corpses by Agatha Frost

Let's start Mystery Monday off with the first book of a series, 

new to me (and maybe you!)

Synopsis:

Soon to be divorced Julia South never expected to be caught up in solving a murder, until she discovered the body of her cafe's most awkward customer. With a new smug Detective Inspector in town who underestimates her every move, Julia makes it her mission to discover the real murderer, before her village friends are dragged into the frame, and more bodies are discovered.

Review:

This is a fun, quick read, that brings Julia back to her hometown, and introduces readers to the many characters in her small village. Add in some rom com elements, a murder with no obvious clues, and some great sounding food, and you have a book you don't want to put down! I read this in one sitting, as it was such a quick read! But be warned, you'll be craving cake by the time you finish! LOL. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and you will too!
