De: Korina Moss

Narrado por: Erin Moon

In Korina Moss’ cozy series debut, Cheddar Off Dead, cheesemonger Willa Bauer discovers that her new home in a small Sonoma Valley town is ripe for murder...something here stinks to high heaven, and Willa knows it’s not the cheese.

Cheesemonger Willa Bauer is proving that sweet dreams are made of cheese. She’s opened her very own French-inspired cheese shop, Curds & Whey, in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. The small town of Yarrow Glen is Willa’s fresh start, and she’s determined to make it a success - starting with a visit from the local food critic. What Willa didn’t know is that this guy never gives a good review, and when he shows up, nothing goes according to plan. She doesn’t think the night can get any worse...until she finds the critic’s dead body, stabbed with one of her shop’s cheese knives. Now a prime suspect, Willa has always believed life’s problems can be solved with cheese, but she’s never tried to apply it to murder....

Didn't Disappoint

My first read by this author. Enjoyed this cozy mystery. I suspected the wrong suspect! Great job!

Totally Enjoyable

Cheddar Off Dead is an excellent read/listen. The story pulls you in and soon your telling your characters--"Don't do that!" OR "YES--go for it!". Great setting, characters are developed slowly over the first story so you feel you know them. Differently a great start to a new series. Thank you Korina Moss.

I will be purchasing the next book and hopefully many more.

Erin Moon's narration is spot on--applause.

It’s Sharp

It was great , I’m a cheese head and I think I will branch out to more soft cheeses

Delightful

What a wonderful story. I read the book AND listened to the story again on Audible. Cannot wait to read the other books in this series. Bravo!

Fun story

This was such a fun book. Really great listen! I recommend this to anyone who likes a mystery.

lighthearted romp

Just what I needed after binge reading too many WWII historical novels which tend to leave me heavy hearted. I enjoyed the cheery voices and the all too amateur murder investigation. it was a fun listen and I enjoyed it.

Ok cozy mystery

I wasn't sure about this book from the first chapter. I didn't care for Willa at all. The story was okay but I struggled to finish it. I did like the detective and a few of the other the characters. This one just wasn't for me.

Wonderful new Cheese Shop cozy mystery

Fabulous new cozy series! It deserves the Agatha Award for Best First Novel! It is well written with wonderful characters and an interesting mystery! Loved everything about it! Willa is new to town and opens up a cheese shop. She hires Archie and Mrs. Schultz. She meets Baz who becomes like a brother to Willa. All 3 characters are great and add humor and depth to the story. A food critic comes into the shop and ends up dead. Willa becomes a suspect along with the people at her shop. There is the possibility of a love triangle so we will see how that unfolds. I guessed the culprit but wasn’t sure until the end. The audiobook narrated by Erin Moon was extremely well done and she brought the characters to life and their voices matched expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this new cozy mystery and I look forward to the next book. #CheddarOffDead #CheeseShopMystery

Pretty Good

Cheddar Off Dead is ok. It's a bit formulaic and slow in the beginning. I almost stopped listening to it. However, I continued to listen and it got better. I'll get the next book.

So Good

I read A LOT of cozy mysteries, and this one ranks with the best of them. From the start, I was right at home with Willa, Archie, Mrs. Schultz, and Baz. Every character was simultaneously well developed and had room to grow. I am particularly interested in the potential love interests, but they are subtle, very preliminary, with lots of room for development. Often, first in series drag a bit and can be awkward while characters, relationships, backgrounds are set up. Not so with this book. I was immediately wrapped up in the story as though we were old friends. The mystery(ies) is intriguing, and I was not certain of the culprit until the reveal. Bottom line, I highly recommend this book and cannot wait for Book 2.
