Cobblered to Death

Courtney Archer Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Rosemarie Ross

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

Out of the frying pan, into the fire....

Courtney Archer is known for hosting the show Cooking with the Farmer's Daughter...despite the fact that she's actually a pediatrician's daughter. Now she's signed on for a role on The American Baking Battle. On this reality show, she can start developing a more authentic image for herself - and as a bonus, the usual backstabbing and manufactured drama isn't part of the Baking Battle script. But genuine drama is heating up behind the scenes....

During a film shoot in the scenic Pocono Mountains, Courtney has to juggle career commitments like pots on a six-burner stove. Adding to the stress is Mick, a contestant who finds out about her fake farm-girl story. Determined to succeed at her new gig, she whips up a cherry cobbler in a cast-iron fry pan one evening and leaves it out to cool. But the next morning, it's Mick's body that's cooling - right next to Courtney's pan, now classified as a murder weapon....

Loved hearing about the behind the scenes at a baking show

Unfortunately, I would not listen to the next 2 books because I don’t want to hear about the murders of nice characters we “met” in the first one.

American baking show

I picked this for my book clubs book of the month. We all really enjoyed it. It is exactly what it claims to be a cozy, warm mystery. I am slightly disappointed that there are only three books. I was enjoying getting to know the characters and wanted to see where it went.

OK

This is an ok cozy mystery. The characters were flat and I didn't connect to them. The mystery was ok but the mystery was thin and underdeveloped. I might get the next book.

Bad ; don't read

Stupid. No story line. Just all sex. Disgusting. Who likes to hear about someone's sex life, in a parent's home?
