Fair warning! As you snuggle into your jammies and prepare your reading nook, pack extra snacks! The characters are constantly talking about food, preparing food, eating food, or dreaming up new kinds of food. And it all sounds so very, very good.

Was he involved with the dead woman? Did he commit the murder? If not, how can the evidence against him be so damning? The poignant part is the honest […]
