I have a new favorite Cozy Mystery Series! This book pulled me in right from the start, I loved the hometown Northwest setting of this book. It is set in a bakery , for the first few chapters, in a small town in Oregon and the description of the bakery itself and the pastries had me wanting to visit! I thought that the side characters quirkiness added to the overall feel of this foodie cozy mystery. Soon hunky sounding Jules's estranged husband calls and begs Jules to return temporarily to the cruise ship where he is the head chef. Now I have to say that this is a series but you can most definitely read this as a standalone although I wish that I had read all of the previous books as this is my first book in this series that I am reading. Soon Jules, her mom and her mom's boyfriend  are departing for the cruise. Not soon after there is a corpse found by Jules and it is time for the mystery to begin. There was lots of action , drama and a big storm going on in this book. I loved every minute of this and found myself rooting for Jules and Carlos to get back together but that topic will be continued in books to come, I hope. There is a nice twist in the mystery of the murdered stowaway and I was surprised by whodunit.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery and it had a nice twist at the end, also there were recipes included at the end of the book. I am thrilled that I found a new series.This review was originally posted on Cindy's Book Binge
