Mimi Rousseau, owner of Bistro Rousseau and Maison Rousseau in Napa Valley, California, has her hands full with a high profile wedding and reception being held at her establishment. Everything is running smoothly until the bride's uncle, and Mimi's mentor, is found murdered the morning after a welcome dinner for all the guests. Filled with delicious recipes and interesting characters/residents of Napa Valley (can't wait to read more about them and their stories in future books!), A Deadly Eclair by author Daryl Wood Gerber is a wonderful first installment in a new cozy series. Just as well-written as Ms. Gerber's other books - she is the author of the Cookbook Nook Mysteries and the Cheese Shop Mysteries (as Avery Aames) - this whodunit promises to the be the start of another delightful series. I was kept guessing as to the identity of the murderer, and was a little surprised by the outcome (which is always a plus for me!). The recipes included sound absolutely scrumptious, and I look forward to trying many of them! I highly recommend this book! :-)

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. A wonderful cosy mystery story which also has a real good feel factor as well. Recommend.
