Just days before Charlotte and Jordan are to wed, the body of Tim O’Shea, the local bar owner, is found on Jordan’s cheese farm. The personal nature of the murder leads Charlotte to start investigating to figure out who would want to kill the man who was a friend to so many.

I was surprised when I realized who the murder victim was going to be, but I liked that it made the case more personal to me as well as the characters. The large cast is charming and fun as always. I do grow a little tire of the character’s wild theories (especially Rebecca), but that’s a minor complaint overall.

Stan is hired to cater a birthday party for a dog at a neighboring farm. However before the party can even get started, the owner is found dead. Did one of Hal’s business dealings turn deadly?

While I enjoyed the first book in the series, this one was even stronger. The characters are growing in an engaging way, and I liked spending time around them. The pacing of the plot was better than the first, and I was surprised by several twists before we reached the climax. There were several engaging sub-plots as well, and some plot threads from the first book were picked up and resolved here as well.

I love this game! It is very similar to 7 Wonders in that you progress through the game by evolving or upgrading your technology. For example, you might start with the ability to farm papyrus. This will eventually lead you to be able to make paper. Once you have paper, you can then learn to write and create poetry, and so on. I love that it shows the hole process broken down. Another thing I thought was really wonderful about this game was that throughout the entire rule book, players are referred to using feminine pronouns. The fact that the creators of this game are aware that there are female gamers is awesome, and that there are female gamers that are into technology, was totally cool. Mad kudos to the creators for that!
