• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No

This is my first book encountering this author and this series. I love any cosy mystery that is food-related!! So this was right up my street! I really liked the premise of the book and there was lots of different characters with lots of different suspects, and clues. However, it took me a while to get into the book because within the first couple of chapters I felt like I had missed something?? Like I had missed a one of the books in the series because it plunks you into 3 years after the main character's move to the town rather than the beginning? Which is kind of how the plot has set us up? I think the narrator of the audio book I listened to was possibly a bit too old for this particular role. She had a great albeit mature voice. And how the main character is written to me is a slightly unbelievable 27-year-old.  And the mature voice added to this. So when we were reminded that she's only 27 I  would become confused haha! Because she's written as an as someone who's a bit older. I did power through and I did quite like the book and the narrator does do some nice variations of accents and characters. I will give the second one a try but im a bit tentative about it. However, all in all another nice cosy mystery, i quite liked it and looking forward to seeing how the second book is.
