Poppy McAllister is a definite tragic heroine, life starts on track has a great boyfriend is thinking culinary school then it all goes awry. Fast forward 25 years she is a new widow who runs away to live with her aunt in Cape May New Jersey. While there her best friend manages to convince her attend the dreaded 10 year reunion. Enter the mean girls and bane of Poppy's high school days., naturally there is some friction, words are exchanged and the head cheerleader/head mean girl ends up being the dead mean girl. Of course all fingers are pointing to Poppy who has more than enough on her mind as she gets over heartbreak while managing her gluten intake. Poppy is the best and I love her optimistic outlook. Her life is topsy turvy but with silver linings, like the fact that she is able to reconnect with her high school sweetheart and former fiancé. Oh and there is the exotically handsome Italian coffee shop owner who LOVES her gluten free treats. Poppy has every reason to put her head in the sand or hide under the covers but instead she gets busy solving the crime because the one thing she is absolutely sure of is that sugar is addictive and she isn't a killer.
Midnight Snacks are Murder by Libby Klein (Poppy McAllister mystery #2)
LOVE LOVE LOVE Poppy McAllister. What a refreshing, vibrant, REAL character that any woman can relate to. Not to mention that the recipes at the back of the book are the yummiest. The story line is progressing nicely and I am not sure which of her two suitors would be my first pick so I will stay team Poppy instead of picking either Gia or Tim. So many different threads in this installment and it kept right on rolling from one suspect to the next. I had no idea until the end which is exactly how a proper cozy should be, a little intrigue, a little humor, and a little romance. Cannot wait for Restaurant Weeks Are Murder to hit NetGalley!
