Baked Alaska by Josi S. Kilpack
An Alaskan cruise is the setting for
amateur detective Sadie Hoffmillers latest adventure. Sadie plans to
spend time relaxing with her two grown children, Breanna and Shawn,
and her boyfriend, Pete, while enjoying the luxury and cuisine of an
elegant cruise ship and helping to plan her daughters upcoming
wedding. But even as the crew prepares to leave port, Sadie has
suspicions about the voyage ahead and the relationship between her
normally easygoing son and a mysterious female passenger he obviously
knows but refuses to discuss. When the woman is discovered
unconscious during the second night at sea, Sadies apprehension
escalates. Over the last few years, Sadie has developed an extreme
dislike for secrets and it would seem her son is keeping one from
her. *Includes eight new mouthwatering recipes, tested and approved
by the official bakers of Sadies Virtual Test Kitchen.
Praise for Baked Alaska
Josi Kilpack has done it again. You
would think that all these events that occur in Sadie's life wouldn't
be natural, but Josi Kilpack has a way of making you believe that it
just "happens" and it is normal. I have grown to love
Sadie's character, even if she is a busybody, you can't help but
cheer for her as she attempts to solve a mystery or crime. One of my
favorite series. :)

Author Josi S. Kilpack
Josi S. Kilpack grew up hating to read
until she was thirteen and her mother handed her a copy of The Witch
of Blackbird Pond. From that day forward, she read everything she
could get her hands on and credits her writing “education” to the
many novels she has “studied” since then. She began her first
novel in 1998 and hasn’t stopped since. Her seventh novel, Sheep’s
Clothing, won the 2007 Whitney Award for Mystery/Suspense, and Lemon
Tart, her ninth novel, was a 2009 Whitney Award Finalist. Josi was
the Best in State winner in literature for 2012 and currently has two
books (Banana Split and Tres Leches Cupcakes) as finalists in the
2012 Whitney awards.
Josi currently lives in Willard, Utah,
with her family.
My Review:
I have dabbled a bit into what I guess is called Cozy Mysteries only on a few occasions, but I've enjoyed it. It's a quick romp and fun! This was absolutely NO exception! Sadie is a great character. She's smart, fun, and quickly became someone I liked. They mystery aspect of this book is good. It kept me on my toes, and was clever! This was a super fun read! Will certainly dip my toes in the rest of the series!
