I am always up for starting a new series from Henery Press. This book was a great start to the series and had everything that I love about Henery Press' books.

Brie Hooker is a vegan chef who finds herself living on her Aunt's goat cheese farm after her aunt is accused of murder. She, with the help of some friends (even some hunky friends who vie for her attention), must clear her Aunt's name while helping to keep the farm afloat.

I liked that while Brie is vegan it doesn't really dominate the story. She does get a bit annoying about it when talking about all the cholesterol in cheese but it didn't make me like the story any less. What made me really love the story was her relationships with Andy and Paint. While they both vied for her attention they were both able to remain best friends.

I really look forward to reading more of this series (and seeing what happens between Brie, Andy, and Paint). Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the galley.

I really enjoyed this book. The title was interesting and the story was excellent.
I had a great time reading this book and I loved the way I connected with all the characters.
The story itself was interesting and I was pleasantly surprised with the story line.
I can't wait to read more in this series.

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.

Loved this not so cozy mystery. Lots of humor and lovable characters with enough suspense and twists to keep you reading late into the night1.

I was unable to connect with the main character and therefore unable to finish this one.

Loved the story, finding the skull was a great moment, and I loved how the mystery unfolded, and solving it was great!!!!

This a charming little cozy that I feel in love with from start to finish. The author has developed the protagonist and the secondary characters masterfully. The setting and the story-line were well executed form start to finish

I was interested as soon as I saw that this mystery would feature a vegan chef who was forced to work on her family's farm. However, it became readily apparent that the author isn't a vegan, There's no mention of what happens to male baby goats (they are slaughtered) or that milking goats is stealing the food that their babies need. And vegans can't drink champagne - unless it's certified vegan. Regular champagne uses cow products in processing.

I feel like veganism was used as a hook to get people interested instead of being a fundamental part of Brie's identity. The author didn't do enough research to make this character vegan and it's misleading to advertise her as such.

Brie Hooker (love that name) is a vegan chef who lives on a large goat farm with her aunt. Despite her vegan sensibilities, Brie helps her grandmother with her dairy farm, but then things start getting weird. A pet pig roots out a human skull that just happens to belong to the “long-lost” husband of Brie’s aunt Eva. The cops, of course, like Eva for the murder, but Brie knows that even though her aunt has quite a temper, there’s no way she would kill anyone. Brie sets out to prove her aunt’s innocence, but to do that, she’ll have to unmask the real killer. A fun. snarky, cozy mystery
