I really, really, really enjoyed A Side of Murder the first book in @amypershingauthor Cape Cod foodie series and although I promised myself I wasn't going to buy anymore books after that huge book haul last week but I am just lying to myself. Samantha Barnes is a chef in NYC who finds herself back home in Cape Cod after losing her and her marriage. Her Great Aunt Ida died and left her home and dog well puppy Diogi to Sam to her surprise. Sam's intent is to go see what needs to be done to get her aunt's house in saleable state and head back to New York but when her friend Krista ask her to review a new restaurant she accepts mostly because she needs the money and because Krista doesn't accept no. Of course there's a murder that brings her back into contact with her crush Jason Captiva who is now the Harbor master and who keeps telling her to leave the investigation to him and the police which she is not going to do. I couldn't put this book down! I loved Samantha and her friends. The plot was well paced and hats off to the author for not giving too many red herrings. As a girlie girl myself I appreciated Samantha's very feminine style of long flowy dresses made me think of the brands Selkie, Ivy City Co, & Jessakae although I am no wear near Samantha's 6'2 frame. My one con: I felt the book was too long and everything could have been wrapped up at chapter 35. #amypershing #capecodfoodiemystery #cozyauthor #cozymysteryauthor #bookstagram #cozymysteries #bookaddict #sleuther #readersofinstagram #readaholic #addictedtobooks #addictedtobooksforlife #ilovecozymysteries #ilovebooks #books #ilovecozies #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookworm #cozies #cozymysteryreader #cozytribe #cozymysteryclub #cozymysteryengagement #summerreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CerIrimOUyU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
