With her life as a model behind her, Melanie Tower returns home to Wisconsin to open an arts/crafts mall. One of her vendors is found dead and Mel tries to help solve the murder. For more than half the book , I didn't warm up to her character at all. Perhaps that was intentional by the author, but it kept me from engaging fully with the book. The event after event she attended as Cheese Queen were over the top and confusing. However, the last third of the book drew me in and I ended up enjoying it. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to like this book, but the author never met a sentence fragment she didn't like. The villain was obvious, the relationship side of the main character was utterly perplexing and could have been cut out, and the whole thing could have used an editor's touch to tighten things up. Disappointing.
