Soup Lover's Mystery
review 1: Highlighted and bolded on the WWBL for a while, the stars aligned and I found a copy not long ago at the same time that I was between purse books...immediately put a postcard bookmark inside to become newest purse book. Main character, Lucky Jamieson, finds herself back in her hometown. She thought she was only home to clear things up after the death of her parents, but she finds herself moving into an apartment, taking charge of her family's soup shop and taking care of her grandfather who is showing signs of dementia. She begins to sort of settle in, if only temporarily she tells herself, but there's a mystery to solve when her chef is charged with murder. The victim was found in the snow at the back door of the restaurant, so now the townsfolk are staying away in droves... more. Lucky needs to be able to get her business back in order to either sell or possibly stay on to keep it open. She is naturally compelled to solve the murder. All handled really well in a perfect setting of a touristy ski town in Vermont. Excellent characters, setting, and mystery with nifty twists and turns. I knew there was a good reason why I'd highlighted and bolded this one on the WWBL.....
review 2: I finished this book and felt like it was a good story, but I did not like the main character much. She wasn't very smart when going about her investigation. It was hard to believe that she felt that the police and doctors should give her information that was private and when they did, she couldn't keep her mouth shut. I started to read the next in the series, but after 10 chapters decided not to go forward with the series. less
