This was just an ok read for me. I noticed some errors that had me going back to reread paragraphs to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Parts were not descriptive enough to give you a picture of what was going on at that time. Then on the flip side you had the whole column she wrote, and the recipe shoved into the text. Those columns/recipes were really descriptive, and gave you a whole picture of how the decision was made for that recipe. I think the recipes, and columns should have been thrown into the back of the book as an extra they really didn't add to the story.

The story is a cute cozy mystery. Haley a glorified secretary at one of two local papers needs extra cash. Her boss asks her to write the column their "cooking and spirits" section. After her first recipe publishes she finds out that the food columnist at their rival paper is jealous of her new found success at writing, enough so to start a feud the whole town gets to watch. When Karen the rival ends up dead in bowl of clam chowder leaving Haley the main suspect she must now find out who the real killer is. There is also the making of a love triangle which is pretty much over done in every book now a day.

I'm hoping that this series gets better as the story develops so I will be continuing the series.
