Pumpkin Roll (Culinary Mystery)

I liked the book and characters. There were some nice, fun parts since Sadie and Peter are watching his grandchildren for a week. Lots of twists and turns along with parts that were a little scary and creepy. I was surprised when it was revealed who the real bad person was and how badly she treated Sadie. It seemed like every time I thought I had it figured out, something else would happen that the one I suspected wasn't involved. The parts with the kids were great. Due to the scary parts, I was glad I read it during the daytime!

Although Sadie has just started her PI business and the jobs are coming in, she's in Boston with her boyfriend Pete (that is Boyfriend with a capital 'B") to watch his grandsons while their parents are away. What better time to visit Massachusetts than at Halloween? Sadie bakes up some pumpkin rolls and signs up for the 'witches tour'. Little does she know that the witches and ghost are comin' knockin' at her door. What makes a great mystery/cozy? One where the ending surprises you yet when you look back, all the clues are there. Carve your pumpkin, light some candles and sit back while Josi Kilpack serves up a fun halloween treat!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I love that it was clean with a higher moral standard. Even the bachelor had root beer cans instead of alcoholic beverages. I feel this something I can safely allow my tween to read too.

I'm enjoying this series, and I really liked this book. I read it during the Halloween season, so I really got into it. I like the way Josi Kilpack writes. The stories are fun, the dialogue is realistic and flows easily, and there is a lot to like about Sadie... her flaws as well as her talents. I hope to be able to write this well someday!

I thouroughly enjoyed this book. Ms. Kilpack has a wonderful way of combining mystery along with cooking. I love the recipes she includes. I have tried a few and have really enjoyed them. It is a delight to read about Sadie and the things she gets herself into. A good series of books to sit back and take some leizure time.

I really enjoyed this Sadie mystery. It took a turn I really didn't see coming. I also relate to Sadie as we have many things in common - age, teaching, love of food. She is more adventurous and fit than I am though, so I am happy to live her adventures vicariously.

This was a pretty good book. Not having read any of the other Sadie mysteries, it would have been good to have some more back story.

I thoroughly enjoy these adventures of Sadie Hoffmiller. I've tried some of the recipes and liked them too. Good food... good read... it's a good combo.
