You’ll Get the Bleus if You Skip This Book
The Northwest Cheese Invitational has come to Yarrow Glen, and with it, some of Willa Bauer’s coworkers from her previous job. She’s thrilled to show off her new cheese shop to them, but they are focused on the upcoming reading of the will of their boss, Max. Max not only ran a cheese shop in Oregon, but he had developed an award-winning blue cheese. When one of Willa’s former co-workers is killed, Willa wonders if the secret of the blue cheese was the motive. Can she solve the murder and figure out where the cheese is?

Obviously, there is a lot going on here, and the two storylines weave around each other wonderfully. I kept turning pages as quickly as I could to find out what was going to happen next. The climax could have been a little stronger, but my questions were all answered. It was wonderful to see the characters again. I love the community that is building around Willa. We get some updates in ongoing storylines, but if you jumped in here, you wouldn’t be confused. And you’ll be happy to satisfy your cheese cravings with the three recipes at the end of the book. The only reason I’m blue is that I have to wait for the next book in the series now.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
A sudden snowfall in Houston reveals family secrets. A trip to Universal Studios to snap a picture of the shark from Jaws becomes a battle of wills between father and son. A midnight séance and the ghost of Janis Joplin conjure the mysteries of sex. A young boy’s pilgrimage to see Elvis Presley becomes a moment of transformation. A young woman discovers the responsibilities of talent and freedom.

Pictures of the Shark, by Houston native and Dobie Paisano award-winning author Thomas H. McNeely, traces a young man's coming of age and falling apart. From the rough and tumble of Houston's early seventies East End to the post-punk Texas bohemia of late eighties Austin, this novel in stories examines what happens when childhood trauma haunts adult lives.
