Final Sentence

Sarah Sammis

Like many first volumes this one suffers from trying to do too much at one time. There's setting up the characters, the main character's new life and business, introducing the new town, creating an ensemble cast, and finally setting the basic tone of the series. Final Sentence didn't gel for me as well as it could have. The pacing seemed off and Jenna doesn't seem well suited for her new life running a cookbook shop.

Final Sentence by Daryl Wood Gerber

This is the first book in a cozy mystery series, set in a cookbook store/café. Jenna moves back to her hometown after her husband dies and opens up a cook store/café with her aunt. Jenna invites her college roommate, now a big cooking show star, to be the special guest at the store's opening but her roommate is murdered before she can appear at the store. Jenna becomes a suspect and begins her own investigation to clear her name. But will that get her into more danger?

This book was a good mystery and I loved the cozy setting. Also a big hit was stray kitten Tigger and secondary characters such as Jenna's dad, aunt and friends. There was also a hint of romance in this book as Jenna and fish shop owner Rhett connect. I enjoyed this book and will read the second book in the series.
