Cheddar Late Than Dead

"A complex mystery and yummy grilled cheese recipes. What’s not to like?"— Kirkus Reviews

A cozy wedding shower turns criminal when the groom ends up dead—and grilled cheese café owner Carly Hale is on the case.

Carly Hale thought catering a bridal shower would be a chance to show off her newest grilled cheese creations—not get tangled in another murder. But when the groom crashes the party and doesn’t make it out alive, things go from melty to messy fast.

The bride’s blow-up with her fiancé was dramatic, sure—but murder? Carly’s not so sure. With her friend under suspicion and the whole town speculating, Carly can’t help poking around. After all, she’s got a knack for uncovering secrets—and a few loyal locals (and one adorable pup) on her side.

As clues stack up like a triple-decker sandwich, Carly follows the trail through jealous rivals, wedding drama, and a mystery that’s anything but cold.

Set in snowy Balsam Dell, Cheddar Late Than Dead delivers all the cozy charm, small-town gossip, and toasty suspense fans of the genre love. Warm, witty, and satisfying to the last page.
