The latest grilled cheese mystery has a recipe for grilled cheese fruitcake and I'm almost tempted to try it if some fruitcake finds its way to our house this holiday season. At a dress rehearsal of A Christmas Carol, one of the actors is found dead with Marley's heavy chains wrapped around his throat. The evidence points to Carly's best friend, but plenty of people could have wanted the unpleasant man dead. This is always a fun series, with lots of tasy sounding food and an entertaining group of characters.

An enjoyable addition to the series with plenty of Christmas touches to help you get in to the holiday spirit.

I was so excited to be able to read an ARC of this new installment of the Grilled Cheese Mystery series - I got caught up on all of the previous ones this fall and love that this was available just in time for the holiday season! I adore Carly and the gang, and found this to be one of the better mysteries - complex with plenty of reasonable suspects that kept me guessing until the end. I also loved the holiday touches from A Christmas Carol play to all of the holiday activities. Can't wait for the next one!

I also love the cover of this one - festive and I'm always a sucker for little Havarti being featured!

It was wonderful to be able to read this 5th. book in the Grilled Cheese Mystery series…especially since the previous book was published on April 9th. of this year!

This is a wonderful cozy mystery series, and this book takes place at Christmastime.

Carly Hale, the protagonist and proprietor of the grilled cheese restaurant is involved in investigating another murder that happens during a dress rehearsal for the play A Christmas Carol.

It is always great to be able to catch up with familiar characters from the previous books, plus Havarti, her adorable small dog. The plot is most engaging, and I was able to get into this book right from the first page, and it kept me hooked until the very last page.

Linda Reilly knows how to weave coziness into her stories by using likeable and colorful characters (except for the victim), and beautifully described scenes and locations.

I hope to be reading many more of Ms. Reilly’s mysteries, and I hope readers will love reading this book.

Thank you Net Galley and Beyond The Page publishers for making an advance copy available to read and post a personal review. I also thank Ms. Linda Reilly for her brilliant writing.

This is a fun, entertaining cozy mystery. I enjoyed the mystery and how it played out. The characters are interesting and all added something unique and individual to the mystery and overall story. The amateur sleuth Carly is captivating and fun to spend time with. The story is easy to read and get into.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Carly and the crew at the Grilled Cheese shop are working hard this holiday season, when Carly's best friend is put on the suspect list for the murder of one of the actors in the play, A Christmas Carol. The victim was unliked by most who knew him, so there are lots of suspects and motives. Carly will do anything to clear Gina's name. But who actually committed the crime?
I love these characters and all their interactions. The plot, as always, is fun, fast paced, and completely captivating. Truly enjoyed from beginning to end.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

"You Feta Watch Out (Grilled Cheese Mysteries #5)" by Linda Reilly got a bit Christmas and a but theatre related. While at a dress rehearsal for A Christmas Carol, Carly's friend stumbles upon the really dead Marley. So, of course, between that and having argued with victim her friend is a suspect.

The victim had a few enemies or potential enemies he could have. I honestly didn't have any one particular person in mind as the culprit. I was actually a little surprised when it got to the reveal.

You Feta Watch Out by Linda Reilly, the latest in the Grilled Cheese Mystery series, is a fun read for the upcoming holiday season. There's plenty of Christmas content, from the play A Christmas Carol to special holiday themed sandwiches to decorating Christmas trees.
I did find the book a tad bit difficult to get into, and some of the detailed descriptions of people especially to be somewhat tedious, but I stuck it out and am glad I did. The mystery of who killed the obnoxious leading man is complex, with plenty of suspects and red herrings to keep the reader guessing to the very end.
I must say, the cover is lovely.
Thank you for the ARC of #YouFetaWatchOut to #NetGalley and Beyond the Page Publishing.

You Feta Watch Out is the newest book in the Grilled Cheese Mystery series. These books always entertain me and have me longing for a grilled cheese sandwich! In this book, Carly Hale, owner of a grilled cheese eatery, and the rest of Balsam Dell, Vermont are excited that a production of A Christmas Carol has come to town. Carly's best friend Gina Tomasso even has a minor role in the play. Gina loves being able to perform, but she and others in the cast are being bullied by the obnoxious actor who plays Jacob Marley. When Jacob is killed, Gina becomes the prime suspect so Carly steps away from the grill to investigate.

This is such a fun series and I've enjoyed getting to know Carly and the rest of the characters in this series. I liked that A Christmas Carol play is part of the setting, although it did take some of the time away from getting to see Carly working in the shop. However, the investigation kept me guessing and the solution was unexpected. I love the friendships between the characters in this series and look forward to more from this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Beyond the Page publishing for the review ebook copy. My review is voluntary and unbiased.

This is a GREAT series. This Christmas the Balsam Dell Community Center is putting on A Christmas Carol . Carly is the amateur sleuth and she really goes out to find the murderer. The actor who plays Scrooge is a very demeaning person and he goes out of his way to put everyone down, especially Gina, who is a best friend of Carly. A special intermission is called because of him, Prescott Lennon and during this time nhe is found dead. Gina at this time is the prime suspect because she is the one who found hime. Follow Carly as she goes into sleuth mode as her goal is to prove Gina did not kill him.

Fun cozy mystery at Christmas time in Vermont. The local theater is showing the play A Christmas Carol when during final rehearsals murder takes place. Carly is busy planning her wedding and running her restaurant, but when her best friend becomes the main suspect she decides to investigate herself. Lots of suspects, and mysteries besides the murder are figured out and solved. Nice well told story with good characters and world building. Thank you to NetGalley and Beyond the Page publishing for this early advanced copy!I

This is a well written, engaging and character rich cozy! I really am so happy to find this author and can’t wait to read more of her books!

You Feta Watch Out is the fifth installment of the Grilled Cheese Mysteries set in Balsam Dell, Vermont and featuring Carly Hale, owner of Carly's Grilled Cheese Eatery. It's the holidays and Carly is enjoying a dress rehearsal of the Christmas Carol at the Flinthead Opera house with her sister Norah. Carly's tenant and best friend Gina Tomasso is playing one of the carolers

Prescott Lennon who is portraying Jacob Marley, walks offstage mid scene claiming that he can't work with the other cast members. But murmurs in the audience suggest the others can't work with him.
When Prescott turns up dead in his dressing room fingers point to Gina because the man had been bullying her - saying her voice was similar to hen scratch. Carly finds herself trying to track down a killer alongside her fiance Ari Mitchell and the gang at the Eatery.

A delightful afternoon read that will put you in a holiday mood (and also craving grilled cheese). A cast of returning characters, a cozy small town, just the right amount of romance and of course a furry canine round out a fantastic addition to the series. l really enjoy this series as I live in a small town in Southern Vermont and the author references my two neighboring towns. Now only if someone would actually open a grilled cheese shop!

I received an advanced copy of You Feta Watch Out from NetGalley via Beyond the Page Books. While not required to write a review I am happy to offer my honest opinion.

#YouFetaWatchOut #NetGalley is a perfectly entertaining holiday cozy mystery.
Carly is looking forward to the holidays until her friend becomes a murder suspect.
The story revolves around A Christmas Story, and when someone knocks off a real scrooge, Carly has her work cut out for her to help solve this murder.

I really liked this story, it is a fantastic addition to the series, which is one of my favorites.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.

It's always fun to return to Vermont and visit with Carly and the team at the Grilled Cheese Eatery. This time, our mystery hits us right out of the gate, Carly has joined her sister Norah and her boyfriend Nate at his family's new theater, where they are performing a dress rehearsal of A Christmas Carole. When the main character has a meltdown and they take a break, there is much speculation. Carly catches up with her friend Gina, who has a role as a caroler, and learns that the man is very unpleasant and has not been very nice to Gina. As they settle back to start the show, the lead character is found dead, and the investigation is on! We get an interesting mystery set during the holidays, with a festive backdrop and Carly trying to stay out of it all while planning her wedding, adjusting to changes in her staff, and enjoying her new home with Ari. As always, we get a charming small town, a great cast of characters, and delicious grilled cheese treats, all with holiday decorations. You will definitely want to visit a while!

When Carly's best friend, Gina, is one of the main suspects in a murder, Carly uses her instincts and community connections to clear Gina's name. A quaint, holiday themed cozy mystery. Another fun installment of this series.

"You Feta Watch Out” the 5th instalment in A Grilled Cheese Mystery series by Linda Reilly set in the town of Balsam Dell, Vermont.
Humbug! leads to Homicide! Christmas in the close-knit community of Balsam Dell promises to be especially festive for Carly Hale this year when a prominent theater company comes to town to stage A Christmas Carol. With her friend still on the hook, Carly will have to sort out past misdeeds from those of the present, even as her pursuit of the killer scares the dickens out of her . . .

I really like the characters in this series and they are what have made me fall in love with it. Especially the Protagonist Carly, her bff Gina, and her co-workers Suzanne, Valerie, Nina and Don. We can’t forget Carly’s family, Ari with Christmas and the wedding approaching I believe we will see more of them going forward. I really like the new member of the team Nina and could she have a soft spot for a certain journalist…

The mystery was interesting and there are plenty of red herrings, and twists to keep you wanting to find out what will happen next.

I read the book in one day, but you will crave a grilled cheese while reading the book, I know I did. Luckily there are recipes at the back.

I cant wait for the 6th instalment and the wedding. I highly recommend this to cozy lovers.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from Beyond the Page and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Its Christmas in Balsam Dell and Carly and the entire crew is looking forward to attending the showing of the Christmas Carol. Unfortunately, the lead actor is murdered and Gina is the main suspect. In order to clear her of suspicion, Carly must once again dig for clues while still running her grilled cheese eatery and planning her wedding to her beloved Ari.

This was not my favorite in the series, I felt that the mystery was pretty easy to figure out. At least the who of the mystery if not the why. Some of the characters like Norah seemed to be acting against their usual nature and I didn’t love that. Although I did enjoy seeing the return of Grant.

Overall, I mildly enjoyed this cozy mystery but I do think it’ll be my last in the series. It just didn’t live up to some of the earlier ones.

Thank you to NetGalley and Beyond the Page publishing for this early advanced copy!

It’s Christmas season and Carly and her staff are busier than ever serving up grilled cheese specialties. Carly is also getting married in 7 months, so she has a lot on her mind. She’s excited to see a local production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, but then her best friend becomes a suspect in the murder of one of the actors. Of course, Carly wants to help her, but the more she digs for information, the more suspects she finds. The mystery kept me guessing until the end.
Delectable grilled cheese sandwiches, close friendships, and the holiday season makes this a fun cozy mystery.
Thanks to Beyond the Page Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

I love when a cozy mystery is set around the holidays. This one had Christmas trees along with murder. Not sure if this should be a combination but it works for this book.

Carly's best friend is not only in a play but she is a suspect to a murder that happens at the theater. Of course, Carly gets involved with the murder investigation. There were so many suspects and I didn't guess who the murderer was even though that person was on my list.

I love the characters from this series and enjoy getting to know them more in each book. I do hope the next books have Carly with her sister a little bit more. I would love to see their relationship get stronger. I also can't wait for the next book, I have a feeling it include a murder around Carly's wedding.
