Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA Today bestselling author Hillary Avis writes cozy mysteries about smart women who persist until they uncover the truth—about themselves, about their communities, and of course about any unsolved murders.

She lives and works in a quaint Pacific Northwest city with a menagerie of dogs, cats, chickens, and kids...and one very patient husband. When Hillary’s not reading, writing, or editing, she bakes bread, makes pottery, drinks coffee, and streams The Great British Bake-Off but rarely all at the same time.

I loved this series! I read the books individually and enjoyed them, so I bought the boxed set to have all the stories together for a binge rereading! When I love a series, I grab the boxed set to have all the stories in order to reread the series and meet up with my old friends.

Oh! Besides fun mysteries to solve, there are some great recipes included! :)

Grab the boxed set! Happy reading!

I would have preferred to give four and a half stars but I couldn't give the series five stars because I figured out the murderer half way through each book.

This set of stories is wonderful! Lots of excitement and romance. The best part is that each book is as good or better than the last, which is a hard thing to find in a series! I went from the first to the last in less than a week. 😊

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing cozy mysteries
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020
I loved this entire series. I highly recommend these books.
Crime Chowder is the first book in the new Death du Jour mystery series. Bethany Bradstreet is a great cook and crime solver. The plot contains arson as well as murder. The characters are all well written. The reader is treated to some Connecticut history, recipes and a good mystery.
I am enjoying this Death du Jour mystery series. Rest in Split Peas is even better than the first book. I love Bethany, Kimmie, Olive and the rest of the crew. The idea of matching the soup to the day was neat. I am rooting for Ryan (not Milo) to win Bethany's affections. The mystery was interesting. I certainly did not anticipate that ending.
Chili Con Carnage is the latest adventures of the folks in Newbridge. With mouth watering chili recipes for the chili cook-off, a poisoning, a murder, a proposal and more, prepare to lose yourself in this great cozy mystery from Hillary Avis.
Lentil Death Do Us Part may be my favorite book in this series. I had so much enjoyment reading this that I could not put it down. With Kimmy having a meltdown almost every time she turns around, a flooded wedding venue, a new venue in the midst of a remodel, a corpse found at that new venue, Bethany realizing she needs to decide on either Ryan or Milo, and Ryan's vision for the art museum not being the same as his father's that is a lot happening in this story. This book has wonderful characters, plot twists, misdirects, and more. This is an amazing tale you will not want to miss.
