Cheddar Luck Next Time

by
  • Beth Cato

£4.99 – £9.99

Cheese-obsessed Bird Nichols has just inherited her grandmother’s estate in a quiet, quirky Californian town. But when a body is found on her property, her life begins to get rather loud…

 

Bird Nichols is ready to make a fresh start in a familiar place. Last year, her parents died together in a car crash and her beloved grandmother is presumed dead from an ocean drowning. Bird is now moving onto her grandmother’s California coastal property, and finally living out her dream. Bird loves cheese like nothing else. It’s her autistic special interest, and she designs her boards along her sensory needs, and other people love them, too.
But just when everything seems to be going right, the local troublemaker ends up dead on her rural road. Grizz, the closest thing Bird has to family, is the sheriff department’s favourite suspect, but she is determined to prove Grizz’s innocence. So now, Bird needs to unpack her possessions, assemble her pretty cheese boards, and find the true murderer before they strike again.

Reviews

“Cheddar Luck Next Time is a light fun romp of a straight-up cozy mystery novel… Can a book be a mystery novel and yet teach you delicious ways to combine, pair and eat cheese? Yes it can, and does a Gouda job of it. Cheddar Luck Next Time is a light, quirky and fun mystery novel that shows off and ably demonstrates Cato’s love of the Central Coast region of California and yes, of course, delicious cheese and cheese preparations of a delicious and tantalizing variety.”
– Paul “Princejvstin” Weimer, Hugo winning SFF Fan Writer

“A uniquely challenged protagonist, scrumptious cheese boards, and a devious mystery make this a bold new series to be relished like a decadent triple crème.”
– Daryl Wood Gerber, author of the Literary Dining Mysteries

“Cheddar Luck Next Time is filled with descriptions of cheeses that will make your mouth water and find yourself searching artisan cheese shops to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. Bird Nichols and her chubby, orange kitty Bowser are the perfect cozy mystery pair. Cheddar Luck Next Time is filled with twists and turns that will keep the reader on their toes until the satisfying ending. Beth Cato, through sleuth Bird Nichols, brings to life the experiences, thoughts, and needs of people diagnosed with Autism.”
