Kneaded to Death by Winnie Archer
5.0
This is the start to what looks to be a fantastic series. Nice setting, good premise, very vivid characters.
The action starts pretty much immediately with the suspicious death of a woman found in her car.
Ivy, the main character, is in her hometown to help care for her family after her mother is killed in a hit and run. She is in the same bread making class as the victim. Clues begin to show a path that is clear to Ivy but not necessarily to everyone else. So she begins to investigate the threads that she sees.
I consider this amateur sleuth rather than cozy due to the bit more violence that occurs. These are my lines I draw, maybe not everyone else's but there it is. Be forewarned if you don't like fairly vivid scenes of violence, to include death. They are very well-imaged by a very talented writer. Not glossed but they are not gratuitous scenes.
Anyway...this was my bedtime book and it kept me up some nights for 'just one more page'. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
I can definitely recommend this book, series and author. Also in her guise as Melissa Bourbon.
