Pumpkin Roll

A Culinary Mystery, Book 6

By: Josi S. Kilpack

Narrated by: Diane Dabczynski

Sadie Hoffmiller believes in her abilities as a cook and as a detective. She believes in the beauty of a perfectly baked pumpkin roll. She does not, however, believe in ghosts. As Halloween approaches, Sadie is looking forward to spending her favorite baking season of the year making delicious New England recipes in Boston, Massachusetts, with her favorite leading man, Pete Cunningham, as they babysit his three young grandsons. When the boys insist that Mrs. Wapple, the woman who lives across the street, is a witch, Sadie and Pete are anxious to distract the boys from such silly ideas.

Sadie tries to befriend Mrs. Wapple, but when her foolproof plate of cookies fails to work its magic, she is left with more questions than answers. And Sadie has never been one to leave a good question unanswered. The more she investigates, however, the stranger the answers become. And when Sadie learns the eccentric Mrs. Wapple has been attacked in her home, she knows time is running out. As the unexplained occurrences escalate, Sadie finds herself embroiled in yet another mystery with life-or-death consequences. Can Sadie discover whoever - or whatever - is behind the mystery before anyone else gets hurt? Or will this be the last time Sadie takes the case?

Excellent you never know from chapter to chapter what’s gonna happen and when I thought it was gonna happen no way happen Josie did it with great surprise and great style.

Fun Mystery

Josi S. Kilpack's culinary mystery are so fun. Sadie Hoffmiller is such a relatable character and she gets herself into such crazy situations! It's always fun to try to solve the mystery alongside her and then be surprised when things move in a different direction than expected. Pumpkin Roll is a great Halloween story without getting creepy.

Hallmark-ish

The main character really bothered me with her obsession of how she looked and others looked. She was quite judgemental in my opinion. The intense moments were good, but there was a lot of fluff in between. This was an easy listen but could have half of it cut out. The reader was fine, but she was almost robotic the way she enunciated every word perfectly.
