Dough or Die

This series just keeps getting better and better. The way the author writes each page, it is like you are taking a walk right along with the characters trying to piece together a mystery that just doesn't quit. I love everything about this series and this book is just the perfect addition!

Dough or Die is the 5th in the Bread Shop series by Winnie Archer but each book can be read as a stand alone. In this book, a reality show has come to Santa Sofia and will be featuring Yeast of Eden’s Bread for Life program in the pilot episode. It is clear from the start that the reality is that the show’s co-hosts do not get along. When the cameraman is run down in front of the bread shop and the murder of a co-host follows, Ivy Culpepper, baking apprentice and our protagonist, must jump into action to solve the mystery.

The delightful mix of characters and their complex relationships will appeal to all readers. The mouth-watering descriptions of the breads are an added bonus that will have you firing up your oven or heading out to your local artisan bakery. This is the perfect book to while away a summer day. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy.
