Of Murder and Men by Lynn Cahoon

4.0

I have never so badly wanted to eat a cookie while reading a book. This lovely cozy murder mystery, Of Murder and Men by Lynn Cahoon, has so many scenes with such delicious descriptions of the food being eaten that a reader could gain weight just from reading it. Cat, a successful author who leads a writers’ retreat at her newly inherited Victorian mansion, learns more about her recently deceased ex-husband’s death and at the same time assists her Uncle, the chief of police, in solving the murder of her best friend’s fiancé. What more could you ask for in a story, two unsolved crimes for the price of one? I thought it was a pleasant change from the standard that Cat doesn’t solve the crime all by herself. The involvement of all the different characters and their interactions with Cat and with others made for interesting subplots. If you want a fun, quick read that will have your mouth watering while you solve the mystery this it the book for you.
