Series: A Culinary Mystery
by Author Josi S. Kilpack
Baked Alaska (2013)
Baked Alaska by Josi S. Kilpack is the 9th book in the Sadie Hoffmiller Culinary Mystery series. Sadie is on an Alaskan cruise with her two grown adopted children and her boyfriend Pete when the cruise is spoilt when they come across a comatose woman. A great addition to the series. I love how th...
Tres Leches Cupcakes (2012)
Okay, technically, I didn't actually finish this book. I started it twice. TWICE. I've read all the others in the series. And really, I liked them. But these last couple have become so unbelievable that I just can't go any farther. (which is a shame because I actually bought the next three in ...
Pumpkin Roll (Sadie Hoffmiller, #6) (2000)
When I saw, from reading the back of the book, that the main character in this is in Boston, I picked it up to read because I was taking a trip there myself later that week. I haven't read anything else from this author, and apparently this book was part of a series. The book occasionally refer...
Pumpkin Roll (2011)
Content - fast paced, amazing recipes. The main character seems much more age appropriate in this one. Mechanics - On the down side there aren't enough characters. Writers are encouraged to not overwhelm the reader with characters but in mystery there needs to be quite a lot - enough to befuddle ...
Banana Split (2012)
I give this one a solid 4 stars. There were some things about this one that I really appreciated and felt vested in (the characters Charlie and Mr. Olie, Sadie's battle with anxiety, Gayle playing sidekick :) ) The story kept my attention and I found myself devouring the 2nd half to see how it wo...
Blackberry Crumble (2011)
I love to read Josh Kilpack's Culinary Mysteries. The books are a combination murder mystery and cook book. Any mention of something that Sadie makes is a recipe at the end of the chapter. it also includes Sadie's notes of what this fictional character changes in the recipe to make it better. ...
Key Lime Pie (2010)
This series of books is way to easy to get wrapped up in and not get anything else done until you finish each book. Sadie Hoffmiller is not your typical neighbor. She is a fantastic cook and she shares the receipes in the books. But Sadie has a very inquisitive nature and has a wonderful knack...
Devil's Food Cake (2010)
I liked the ending better than the beginning. I had read two other books in this series and I found the m.c. quite annoying during the first quarter of this book. Sadie redeemed herself at the end and took a lot of abuse in solving this murder and involving her son and some other characters along...
English Trifle (2009)
This is a cozy murder mystery about Sadie, a 56-year old widow, who thinks she's a detective. This one takes place in England and has a dead body who disappears and then reappears.I guess the thing that kind of bugged me about this novel was that Sadie seemed to be a nosy, busy body. I've liked ...
Lemon Tart (2009)
I listened to the Audible version.A friend referred me to Josi's series and I am so glad that she did. This book was more than I expected, it was not a shallow story. The book was not filled with sex or swearing, just a very interesting story about friendship, caring, and not giving up. I hope th...
