My Review:
What a fun culinary mystery! I really enjoyed this story and the main character Sadie. I thought the story had intrigue, heart (I really liked these characters and felt bad for them), and just a touch of romance. And, I was totally surprised! My one complaint is that it annoyed me how much Sadie got herself into difficult situations. What was she thinking?!!! But, I guess that is part of her charm.
Warnings: There is obviously murder (it is a murder mystery), some infidelity, lots of lying and deceit. With all of that said, I still consider this a "clean" book.
I would let my 14 year old read this.
