The Corpse Who Knew Too Much by Debra Sennefelder

The Corpse Who Knew Too Much (Food Blogger Mystery, #4)

by Debra Sennefelder

Food blogger Hope Early takes on a cold case that's heating up fast . . .
 
Building on her recipe for success with her food blog, Hope at Home, Hope is teaching her first blogging class at the local library in Jefferson, Connecticut. She’s also learning about podcasts, including a true-crime one called Search for the Missing, hosted by Hope's childhood friend, Devon Markham. Twenty years ago on Valentine's Day, right here in Jefferson, Devon's mom disappeared and was never found. Finally Devon has returned to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother—and she asks Hope to help.

The next day Hope discovers Devon's apartment has been ransacked. Her laptop with the research on her mother's cold case is missing, and Devon is nowhere to be found. When her friend's body is later discovered in a car wreck, Hope is convinced it's no accident. Clearly, Devon was too close to the truth, and the cold-blooded killer is still at large in Jefferson. Now it's up to Hope to find the guilty party—before the food blogger herself becomes the next subject of another true-crime podcast . . .

Includes Recipes from Hope’s Kitchen!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Corpse Who Knew Too Much by Debra Sennefelder is another terrific book written by this amazing author.

Can Hope figure out what happened to Devon and Devon’s mom twenty years ago?


Hope Early


Hope Early is not only our sleuth but a wonderful blogger herself. She runs her blog that specializes in not only food but things to do around the house. I have always loved reading about this series just for that fact alone. It’s great to see what other bloggers are out there, even though I still stand by my notion to be doing this book blog. If Hope were an actual person, I would probably be following her blog and trying out these delicious recipes that she is always making.

The Mystery


Hope gets asked by an old high school friend, Devon Markham, to help her out with her mom’s cold case from twenty years ago. She didn’t give Devon her answer right away, and then her old friend dies in a freak accident. So, Hope decides to investigate. Now with the ball rolling faster from what Devon had started with her true-crime podcast while trying to figure out what happened to her mom Joyce Markham. Let’s say I got stuck on a red herring; then I was clueless on who could have done it. Until the killer revealed themselves, and then I got the picture.

I feel so bad for the Markham family, even though they are a fictional family. So much happens to them within the span of twenty years. At least justice is finally going to be served, and they will finally know what happened to not only Devon but Joyce.
Five Stars

My rating for The Corpse Who Knew Too Much by Debra Sennefelder is five stars, and I give it my most outstanding recommendation. Ms. Sennefelder has done excellent work on figuring out everything for A Food Blogger Mystery series, and I love seeing what the characters are saying in my head as it unfolds. I need to start writing down the suspects, clues, and motives a bit better than what I have been doing to get it right next time potentially!

Let me know if you figure it out before the reveal at the end.
