Up to No Gouda (Grilled Cheese Mystery, Bk. 1)

Back in Balsam Dell to heal after the death of her husband, Carly Hale is finally pursuing her lifelong dream—opening Carly’s Grilled Cheese Eatery. After only five months, business is booming as Vermont vacationers and townspeople alike flock to her signature Party Havartis and other grilled-cheese concoctions.

But things take a muenster of a turn when Carly’s former high-school boyfriend and now town bully, Lyle Bagley, buys the building housing her eatery and tries to push her out. Then Lyle is discovered dead behind the dumpster of Carly’s shop, and one of her employees becomes the prime suspect. In order to save her eatery and prove her friend’s innocence, Carly must sleuth out the killer before she’s the one who gets grilled.
