The Agatha Award Winner for Best First Novel In Korina Moss's cozy series debut, Cheddar Off Dead , cheesemonger Willa Bauer discovers that her new home in a small Sonoma Valley town is ripe for murder... something here stinks to high heaven, and Willa knows it's not the cheese. Cheesemonger Willa Bauer is proving that sweet dreams are made of cheese. She’s opened her very own French-inspired cheese shop, Curds & Whey, in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. The small town of Yarrow Glen is Willa's fresh start, and she's determined to make it a success – starting with a visit from the local food critic. What Willa didn’t know is that this guy never gives a good review, and when he shows up nothing goes according to plan. She doesn’t think the night can get any worse... until she finds the critic’s dead body, stabbed with one of her shop’s cheese knives. Now a prime suspect, Willa has always believed life’s problems can be solved with cheese, but she’s never tried to apply it to murder…
KORINA MOSS is the author of the Cheese Shop cozy mystery series set in Sonoma Valley. She loves creating quirky characters who live in idyllic small towns. Moss grew up on a healthy dose of Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie novels, which developed her passion for solving mysteries and eventually writing her own. She lives in a small New England town with its own share of quirky characters.
レビュー

Muy cheesy... La verdad es que no sé cómo puede haberse generado una saga sobre esto, porque el libro, que es entretenido, no da para más. Escritores y escritoras de USA piensan que su gente conocida es conocida en todo el mundo, así que está lleno de comparaciones con personajes que si quieres saber quienes son, tienes que tirar de Google. La verdad es que solo lo recomiendo en caso de no tener nada más que leer en la vida.

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery. It kept me guessing until the end, and I liked all the mentions of cheese, too! I will definitely be reading the other books in this series.

I loved this book. Great concept. Kept me glued to the page. Highly recommended. You'll be swept away. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I love the characters! And I was guessing up to the end. I am looking forward to book 2. Really enjoyed it.

Well I certainly think is delicious and it can be used to make some good comfy meals but saving someone from being murder was definitely not what I would have thought. Willa was trying to run a new business when someone is murder and of course her and her new friends try to help solve who did it and run into some for but Willa does find out more about her new town and the people in it. I really enjoyed the characters and the recipes too. I'm going to have fun seeing what's going to come next and more cheese recipes too.
