Murder on the Green by H.V. Coombs
I tend to prefer cozies that take place here in the US of A and have a female main character. I do not always appreciate the English sense of humor so I don't usually choose such books to read. I could not say no to a book about a cook though. I'm imagining Julia Childs meets Mr. Clean with a little zen in the mix when picturing Chef Ben Hunter. Great story line and wonderful characters in the little town of Hampden Green and the cooking tidbits are wonderful. Can't wait to read the next story to see what is new at the Old Forge Café.

Valentine Harris has been unlucky in love but she is determined to stay in San Nicholas and make her pie store business a success. After all, she has more than just her heart in it, she is financial all in . So needless to say this business needs to do well and when a customer dies shortly after eating breakfast quiche that she prepared in her new fledgling bakery. What's a new shop owner to do when she has a fitness junky/personal trainer who is determined to see her go out of business for selling "toxic" food runs the new gym right next door. Val makes it her business to find out who or what happened to her neighbor, the comic book caretaker. With the aid of her odd yet talented pie crust maker (and the promise of a tiny house) Val and Charlene will sort through the questionable characters, a Sherlock Holmes trio, and a handsome big city cop who has come home to enjoy a quieter(?!) pace. Good start to this new series and I hope to see more of the character development especially between Carmichael and Val.
