Things are going from gouda to bad to ugly for cheesemonger Willa Bauer in Gone for Gouda.

Yarrow Glen’s newest cheese shop, Curds & Whey, has a lot on its plate, but cheesemonger Willa Bauer relishes a challenge. There’s a float to build for the fall festival, plus the French-inspired cheese shop is playing host to celebrity vegan chef Phoebe Winston. But when photos surface that prove this vegan influencer is, in fact, a carnivore, things crumble faster than any cheese on the market: Phoebe is murdered. Willa’s employee, the affable Archie, was the last one to see Phoebe alive and the first person the police suspect. To clear his name Willa must uncover who’s been up to no gouda...

Notes on the puns of the title: 100% incredible
Series #: Cheese Shop Mystery 2
Copaganda/police involvement: Literally no recollection whatsoever

Mystery notes: It was kind of far-fetched but like,,,, whatever! It’s a cozy mystery! I don’t care!

This book honestly gets four stars from me because of the cheese references and the recipes. I’m looking forward to more, and I will probably go back and try to read the first.
