First off this book is feels fairly short for a full length novel, the pacing moves fast. I liked that the investigation went somewhere the whole time not just in circles. I did guess the switch early on, it’s a pretty classic feature in twin stories. Having driven in snow, I was surprised that the characters were all able to move around so easily considering how much it was snowing and the amounts they were getting in the story. #CookinUpMurder #NetGalley

This is the first book in a new series. I found it to be super entertaining, one minute you'll be laughing at the main characters antics, and the next minute you'll be eagerly turning the page to see what happens next.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.

A grizzly way to die! And the whole twin thing makes it so much more difficult. Who would want a baker to die? The twists and turns add to the story. The gal that finds him must figure it out? Well she does have the qualifications. But is she up for the challenge? I liked the story.

#COOKINUPMURDER #NetGalley is a good mystery that really kept surprising me throughout the story.
Tuesday is a private investigator, but discovering the body of a local business owner sets her on a bizarre investigation.
She knows what she saw, but then, she sees the victim at home, is she seeing things?
This fast paced cozy mystery will appeal to any reader who likes a real whodunit.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read and loved the humor of Tuesday, the main character. It was a great cozy winter feel, coming from Minnesota, I could relate to the weather issues. It had good plot twists but I struggled with the end motive of the character. It would have been nice to dig a bit deeper in that. Otherwise, it's a quick fun read with good twists.

Doris and Rose are two women who are overly caring by allowing greed and selfishness to twist their emotions. One had her eyes on, till death, do us part greedily, and the other must travel to Paris by any means. Harley and Tuesday's heads clash in this murder investigation, with the clues leading them on a twisted trail with many players and none playing fair. It was intriguing, captivating, and very entertaining.

Cookin' Up Murder by D. J. Adamson
BooksGoSocial, 1st November 2020

Thanks to D. J. Adamson and BooksGoSocial for providing an eARC via NetGalley; this is my honest review.

This delightful book is filled with humour and suspense, which kept me guessing until the end. Adamson has a lovely writing style that does nicely, making it hard to stop reading. The story is full of surprises and puzzling and inexplicable events and takes a lighthearted look at murder. Although aimed at young adults, as a mature reader, I found it to be a satisfying read.
