4.0 out of 5 stars
Mrs. Potter begins her crime solving activities,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cooking School Murders (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first in a very special series of mysteries. Mrs. Genia Potter could be your aunt or the lovely widow lady next door. Before you have finished this book, you feel like she is a member of your family. Virginia Rich does a fine job of developing her characters and moving the reader along with her enticing plot. The recipes are delicious too. Thank goodness Nancy Pickard has picked up the series and Mrs. Potter is able to continue solving her little mysteries. Thank you ladies for these delightful books. I look forward to more stories.

This review is from: The Cooking School Murders (Mass Market Paperback)
Eugenia Potter has returned to the small town in which she grew up. At once she is a stranger to the place as well as intimately familiar with the people with whom she grew up. Potter finds herself contacting a visiting celebrity chef and convincing him to hold a cooking class while he's in town. She's relieved when she meets her commitment to get 12 students for the class, but that doesn't last long when not one, but three, of the students are found dead the next morning -- one an apparent murder, one an accident and one a suicide? Small town law enforcement (Pete and the twins) mean well but could be in over their heads, so Mrs. Potter decides to do a little investigating of her own ....
What sets this cozy mystery apart is the writing. The chronology is more complex than usual and the writing, both for content and style, is terrific. Much is revealed as we observe through our protagonist's eyes; we are simultaneously knowledgeable about these interesting characters, and surprised by them. I look forward to others in the series.

This review is from: Cooking School Murders (Mass Market Paperback)
these books are a gem! great characters, no wild bedroom scenes, just good old fashioned detective work by a 60 something year old woman who knows how to entertain her friends. Great development of scenes in 2 states. enjoyable. i re-read her books every year.
