READ MY BOOK REVIEW

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: Linda Reilly dishes up a scrumptious read with Up to No Gouda, book 1 in her brand-new cozy mystery series! If you enjoy culinary cozies and grilled cheese, then you don’t want to miss this one!

It’s been way too long since I sat down with a brand-new cozy mystery and this book really hit the spot! My only issue is that I have to wait until July to get the next book! I miss Carly, her grilled cheese shop, and her friends already! But that’s not really an issue, is it? Just me being impatient 🤣 Regardless, I truly loved this one and was looking forward to picking it back up when I had to put it down. It has the perfect blend of culinary deliciousness, sleuthing, and a mystery I couldn’t predict! Honestly, I didn’t see it coming which is a major feat because I can usually guess “who-dun-it” in these types of books with ease. Not with this one though so it was quite the delight!

Having never read the author before I wasn’t sure if her books would be a fit for me but am really happy to say that they are DEFINITLEY for me! I look forward to not only reading the next book when it comes out but going back and checking out her other series too!
