Book review: A Novel Way to Die by Tamra Baumann

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book from the author, via Netgalley,  free of charge, for review purposes on this blog. No compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own

Synopsis:

Sawyer Davis, a chef who inherited her mother’s mystery bookshop, is hosting her first book signing for the world’s biggest diva. Between juggling the author’s lofty demands, learning how to be a surrogate mother to a fifteen-year-old, and dealing with the Sheriff who once broke her heart, Sawyer’s menu is full. She longs for the good old days when the worst thing that happened was a flopped soufflé.

But when the author’s husband ends up dead in Sawyer’s best friend, Renee’s, ice cream shop, things really heat up. Sawyer believes her friend is being framed. With the help of her book club members and her adorable goldendoodle, Sawyer sets out to save Renee. Will Sawyer and her friends help serve up justice on a platter, or will they all find themselves in a pickle?

Review:

What do you do when you love to cook, and it's really your profession, but you inhereit a bookshop with strings attached, that can ultimately give you your dream of owning your own restaurant? Why run that bookshop! LOL. Sawyer is an enjoyable charachter and this is a solid mystery with a few red herrings thrown in, that keep you reading and wanting to finish it all at one time! With a few modern twists, like video cameras and doorbells, and a charming small town with its quirky characters, this is a cozy mystery perfect for afternnon reading, and it will make you want to go back and grab book one, Plotting for Murder,  in the series too!

AND  at only $3.99 on Kindle, it's too good to pass up (book 1 is the same price to-so thing about it as a 2 for 1 special!) !

About the Author:

Besides reading, I like to travel and have fun adventures with my family. I’m addicted to all of Bravo’s Housewives reality shows because certain traits of those women make for great characters in my books. It’s just an added bonus to live vicariously in their closets. And I love to see the singers on The Voice living their dreams. I’ve always been tempted to apply to be a contestant on Survivor, but I chicken out every time I get to the application part. I really like to be clean, sleep on something soft at night, hate bugs and I enjoy having at least two meals a day. I wouldn’t last a week on that show.
