Kneaded to Death by Winnie Archer
4.0
Kneaded to Death is the first in the new Bread Shop mystery series and I think readers are going to be delighted with this story. Fans of culinary cozies will definitely appreciate the descriptive style that Ms. Archer delivers. As she describes the bakery and the breads and aroma's I was almost able to smell them in my own living room. Ivy Culpepper is a good protagonist and the author surrounds here with a wonderfully diverse secondary cast of characters. The mystery is sold and provides the reader with a number of plausible suspects along with plenty of clues, twists and turns. While I did have a suspicion, I never really could settle on who I thought was culprit.
This book was tinged with a bit of sorrow throughout as the reason that Ivy returns home to stay is due to the death of her mother. However, I think the author did a great job of creating secondary characters who could fill a gap in Ivy's life which will help to carry this series as it hopefully continues for many more books.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book provided by the publisher through Netgalley. This did not influence my opinion and the thoughts expressed are my own.
