I would have given this one 4 stars but the secondary character Rebecca, just irritated me this time out. Instead of coming across as panicky, as befitting the situation her character was in, she came across pushy, bossy and hysterical. Otherwise, the story was a good one - interesting suspects an...
Charlotte Bessette—proprietor of Le Petit Fromagerie, affectionately known in Providence, Ohio, as the Cheese Shop—is busy setting up her tent for the town’s Winter Wonderland faire, where she’ll offer fine wines and scrumptious cheeses. In the midst of the preparations, Charlotte meets an old frien...
Ditto everything that Hannah said, only I will add that I thought that Aames did a very good job of establishing "family" in this story. The familial aspects seemed very authentic and honest to me, and I would say that I thought the grandmother and grandfather were perhaps the best drawn, most lova...
I had to struggle to get through this one, but I firmly believe that it had little to do with the book and the story, and all about my temporary disinterest in reading. There was a very good story line here and a very nice twist at the end. The very beginning of the story the protagonist was comin...
This was a good enough book, but all the cheese talk is not a good thing for me. I don't eat it and find even the smell of most types of cheese actually revolting! The author is a very good writer and if she writes about another subject I will definitely be up for them, but I think I will leave th...
Charlotte Bessette and her cousin Matthew are partners in The Fromagerie Bessette or The Cheese Shop as it known to the locals. Charlotte handles the cheese shop and Matthew a former sommelier, runs the wine annex. They have been hired to cater a fundraiser for their friend Meredith at an abandoned ...
Nice solid start to a series. I liked Charlotte and her families characterizations, Rebecca was hilarious and Umberto Urso had me chuckling along when he scolded Charlotte for interfering in his investigation. All the other characters just sort of blended together.
This was my first of this type of mystery. And I have to say I quite enjoyed it. It was a murder mystery, but rather than being 'gruesome', or violent like so many of the 'classic' murder mysteries, this one was very understated.The main character had nothing to do with the murder, nor was the descr...
This was an okay read. Must admit to being lost with the cheese talk as I'm definitely NOT a cheese person (my husband would probably have found that part of the book fascinating!), but the mystery was decent and I didn't figure it out until fairly close to the end. I liked the characters enough t...
I rather enjoyed reading this book. Charlotte is a wonderful character who along with her cousin Matthew, have taken over the cheese shop from their grandparents. It gets really interesting just in the first few chapters to keep you hooked through out the whole book. Matthew and his daughters ar...
