Rating: 4 out of 5

Genre/ Subject: mystery

Why did I pick this book?: Heard a lot about the series, and I tend to be a fan of cozy mysteries, so when my library had the first in the series in, I thought maybe it was time.

Summary and Review: When I heard about this book, I thought, oh, great, another foodie mystery. I read Diane Mott Davidson, and that was enough for me, thank you very much. But I guess you could say the bright covers kept calling to me at the library. So when I saw the first, I figured why not? I could always quit at any time if I was bored or if something else came along. Well, Fluke managed to suck me in quite quickly. I love her relationship with her cat, coffee, but especially her mother. Even the mystery was interesting enough to hook me rather quickly. Did have to suspend my disbelief a couple time through the book. (really? The cop is getting help from his SIL the baker?) I will be reading the second (and have in fact already picked it up) as it was light and quick, and I want to see where this romance triangle goes.
