Mostly with this book I recall the setting. A lot of work (or perhaps borrowing of local knowledge) went into creating a believable back story for this building and the family who owned it. There is lore tied up with the winery that involves a possible murder suicide and a person dying in an insane asylum.

Lost and Fondue by Avery Aames


This is the second book in a cozy mystery series set in a cheese shop. This series really makes me regret my lactose intolerance, LOL.


In this book, Charlotte once again dons her amateur detective hat when a local artist is killed at a fundraiser. The niece of Charlotte's friend is taken into custody and Charlotte wants to clear her name. However, this puts Charlotte herself at risk as she finds out the hard way.


This series is a good cozy mystery series. Charlotte and her friend Rebecca are good sleuths. Charlotte's cousin Matthew is a character that readers care about and when his ex comes back to town to try to take away their daughters from him, readers will root for him to win the custody battle. Secondary characters are well developed as well, such as Charlotte's grandparents and the Police Chief Urso. Personally, I love Charlotte's cat Rags, a Ragdoll, since I have three Ragdolls my self.


I have the third book here in the TBR pile. I recommend this series to cozy mystery fans.
