Kneaded to Death by Winnie Archer
3.0
I've always been intrigued by cozy mysteries, with their pun titles and animal sidekicks, so I decided to give a newer series a try.
I thought Kneaded to Death was pretty good! I liked the characters, and I really think the author did a good job of establishing their familiarity through the first book- so I'm sure in the future ones they'll feel like old friends. I thought the pacing was fairly good throughout, and I really liked the lack of romance in this first book. I'll enjoy getting to see Ivy and Miguel explore their relationship in the future books, but it was nice to not have the main character thrown into a relationship just for the sake of having her be in a relationship. I didn't exactly guess the answer to the mystery which was also nice. There were enough red herrings that any new suspect seemed fairly plausible, but there weren't so many red herrings that reading became frustrating.
I look forward to reading some of the future books in this series! Especially with fall quickly approaching- the perfect season to snuggle up with some cozy mysteries.
