I really enjoyed this installment in the Farm-to-Fork Mystery series! The character arcs and their relationships are lovely, and I loved the added tension of Estebe as a murder suspect during wedding preparations. The setting is cozy, and I love Dom, Angie's cozy companion. The story was well-paced, and I enjoyed the twists and turns!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was such a fun cozy debut. I love the grilled cheese theme and that the dog's name is Havarti! The mystery was well paced, and the characters were fantastic. The small town setting was endearing, and I really loved the main character, Carly. I cannot wait for book 2!
