A delightful, gentle yet oddly touching story about baking, friendship and choosing your own destiny.

The story is a delightfully easy read and a gorgeous little palate cleanser between longer or heavier reads. There's not really any spice in here, but there's romance.

Adorably the author has included the recipes used in the baking content at the end of the book too!

I started off a little confused but laughing. And I finished, possibly a little more confused and sobbing.

I haven't read a book where I could tell you much less about the protagonists and yet still claim to understand them.

I thought I might read the book in two sittings, but after a certain point I just couldn't abandon the characters and I had to read to the end.

Beautifully written.

What if a demon possessed a town to recreate "Murder, She Wrote"?

This novel takes a bit of time to get going, and sometimes it's frustrating when the "rules" of the novel are ignored a little randomly - but overall a delightful little cosy crime novel with callbacks to one of my favourite cosy murder shows. I love the protagonist being a "woman of a certain age" (just like a certain Jessica Fletcher) and the ending suggests that this might become a series.

Overall, a fun, gentle read with a lot to love for fans of the cosy whodunnit genre!

The character of Harry Dresden is a very compelling and funny one. No matter what is going on around him, his inner monologue is a riot to experience. I'm hoping that the next few books explain more about the world and lore of this version of the USA.

The plot felt a little convoluted, but with rich characters it's not such a problem. A really enjoyable casual read.
