This is the 3rd book in the 5 ingredient mystery series by Maya Corrigan. This series is heavy on character relationships and that really adds to the appeal. The main and recurring relationship is between Val Deniston and her grandfather. This is a realistic representation of a relationship between a grown woman and her grandfather. Particularly the aspects where he is still trying to tell her how to live her life even if he means well. The book is rife with misunderstandings and people jumping to conclusions; particularly when past events are clouding their judgments.
Final Fondue by Maya Corrigan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a cleverly written cozy with several red herrings that keep the reader guessing until the end about the guilty party. I liked the references to Hitchcock movies that are interwoven into the storyline. The characters in the story are all dealing with things in their pasts that are well conceived and the characters' reactions feel very appropriate and authentic.
