Fudging the Books by Daryl Wood Gerber

23659155  I have been very frustrated by a lack of time to read lately.  The Save Our Cozies Readathon admin. duties have been taking alot of free time and on top of that the end of school year stuff, Professional Development, and the veggie patch needs constant care right now.  ….Enough whining.

I did manage to finish Fudging the Books early this morning.  I love this series (and the whole idea of owning a cook book themed business).  This is book 4 in the series and the recurring characters are present and making themselves known along with a couple new ones related to the murder mystery in this book.  Fudging the Book opens with the simultaneous arrival of Pirate Week, a cookbook author and her editor.  Someone ends up dying, of course and Jenna investigates to clear a friend and find the killer.

The mystery had twists and turns to keep you guessing throughout the whole story.  The focus here was really on the mystery and the investigation, the side plots were less of an element.   I really enjoyed this one and look forward to the next one, which I already pre-ordered.
