About the book
The newest addition to the culinary cozy series follows the story of Carly Hale, the owner of a grilled cheese eatery who finds herself entangled in solving murders in her small town before facing consequences.
Returning to Balsam Dell to recover from her husband's death, Carly finally decides to pursue her dream of opening Carly's Grilled Cheese Eatery. Despite only being in business for five months, the eatery quickly becomes popular among Vermont vacationers and locals who enjoy her delicious grilled cheese creations. However, Carly's former high school boyfriend and current town bully, Lyle Bagley, poses a threat to her business by purchasing the building housing her eatery and demanding her eviction. Forced to confront him, Carly must come up with a plan to save her livelihood.
Just when things seem dire, Lyle is found dead behind the dumpster of Carly's shop, with one of her employees suspected of the crime. In a race against time to clear her friend's name and protect her eatery, Carly takes on the role of detective to uncover the real killer.
With a charming mix of characters, an amateur sleuth with a knack for solving mysteries, and plenty of cheesy antics, Up to No Gouda promises to be an engaging cozy murder mystery to enjoy.
