Clobbered by Camembert by Avery Aames
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Clobbered by Camembert is the third book in the Cheese Shop Mystery series, and in this one Charlotte's old boyfriend comes back from France, which stirs up trouble with Jordan.
This book find us in the middle of winter, a Winter Wonderland Faire is starting, the whole town is excited, except that there is a new lady in town, and she is making enemies at every turn, stirring up old memories and making Charlotte question the truth about her parent's death.
We find Matthew and Meredith working on planning a wedding, and learning to deal with Slyvie living in town. Jordan and Charlotte and back from a vacation together, and she still has more questions about who Jordan is, and with Chip reappearing in town, it makes her wonder if he is the right man for her or not, but not that she would ever take Chip back, that is truly over. Rebecca and Ipo have started dating and they are finally going to have their first kiss, which has Rebecca all a-fluster, growing up Amish, she is not sure about this, but it will work out.
Blackmail, divorce, intrigue and murder all wrapped up in a tidy little book, so much going on and so much more to find out.
Loved the book (hated the last couple of paragraphs - cliffhanger notice) but over all well written, in fact I never guessed who the murder was until about the same moment that Charlotte did, and it was not who anyone thought~
Of course, there is the town grievances, the fued between Slyvie and Matthew, the power struggle over the twins, just a whole lot of fun stuff going on all around the murder, and while you are at it, a lot of good information about cheese and wine! I think those are my favorite parts! I love hearing about the flavors and taste of different cheeses, makes me want to write a list of the ones I want to try and keep it with the book. Same with the wines!
