YOUR BOOK BEGINNING
MY BOOK BEGINNING
They say it takes a while to recover your land legs after years spent at sea.
-- Meet Your Baker by Ellie Alexander. This debut "Bakeshop Mystery" introduces Juliet Capshaw, a newly-graduated pastry chef turned amateur sleuth when one of the customers of Torte, her Ashland, Oregon bakery turns up dead. Since the victim is a board member of the world-famous Shakespeare Festival, the beating heart of the town, anyone could be a suspect.
Has a ring of truth to it.

ReplyDelete"In the latter days of July in the year 185––, a most important question was for ten days hourly asked in the cathedral city of Barchester, and answered every hour in various ways— Who was to be the new bishop?"
