Minnie Hamilton, bookmobile librarian extraordinaire and part-time amateur sleuth, is preparing her for her wedding when she is tasked with finding out what happened at her best friend's restaurant. Several people have gone to the hospital and Minnie suspects a poisoning but happens when one of the suspects turns up dead? Minnie has to figure it out while finding the person vandalizing the library, investigating the bad reviews being left all over town, and planning her wedding.

I had an excellent time reading this book. I love getting to visit with the town of Chilson. Minnie is such a fun character to read about and the mystery was so entertaining. I really enjoyed that there were multiple mysteries happening at once. But I do have to say, it was a little easy to figure out and I felt like Kristen's personality shift was never quite explained or resolved to my satisfaction so I deducted half a star for that. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes cozy mysteries and people who just like reading a nice cozy book. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley Publishing Group, and Laurie Cass for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC. All opinions are my own.
