Mallory's Reviews > Simmering with Resentment

This is the 11th book in the Cookbook Nook mysteries and while reading them all would add to the subtext between characters I haven’t read them all and still thoroughly enjoyed this one. I like the setting Crystal Cove although the bridal expo in the tiny town seemed odd, but I get what it added to the story. My favorite cameo was the 10 fire based named kittens! The main character Jenna is about to get married to her fiancé Rhett, but when things start to go wrong she wonders if it’s a sign that they need to postpone. Of course Jenna stumbles upon a body because that’s what cozy amateur sleuths do but it was quite a bit later than normal since she and her fiancé were attacked instead earlier in the story. The main mystery focuses on Sarita - a woman that tried to frame Rhett for burning down her business to fraud the insurance money and has done her time and returned with a vengeance. The mystery was interesting even if I didn’t find the ending shocking it was fun.
