Up to No Gouda by Linda Reilly
4.0

I picked this one up on Netgalley because like everyone else, I'm obsessed with the idea of a grilled cheese restaurant. This one was a great start to a new series, and although it took me a bit to get into at first, once the introductions were out of the way and the investigating got going, it was hard to put down. And there's recipes at the end!

The eclectic cast of characters quickly became like friends, I'm going to enjoy getting to know them as the series goes on. The plot, who killed Lyle and why, was a real banger; lots of twists and turns and a big pile of suspects. In the end, I never guessed whodunit, so I must've overlooked the clues. Add in the happy endings for a couple of the characters and this was a stellar read, heartwarming and endearing.

A great start to a new series, I'm already looking forward to reading the next book!
