Placed purchase request because I was in the mood for some cozies and the series and book titles sounded interesting.

Comments:

I enjoyed.  This was a quick read.  I liked Laurel.  Though she was a bit distant and slow to warm up, I could understand why.  She's come from a foster background, spent time in backstabbing Hollywood, come to this small town based on false information, and encountered a murder within hours of coming.  None of those factors lend to trust, and so I did find the small town expectations that she just accept them as trustworthy to be grating.  The mafia spin (a small bit) seemed surreal.

Laurel moved past that, though, as she investigated the crime and tried to make the best of her situation.  And maybe she and this small town can help each other after all.

Anyway, I was immediately interested in the second book, French Fried which I have since finished.
