The truth is out there…
Way out there.
Susan Witsend, owner of the best little UFO-themed B&B in the Sierras, is absolutely, positively, not going to get involved in another murder case. Not with her small-town sheriff threatening jail time if she interferes in one more investigation.
So when her neighbor is murdered, Susan exerts all her willpower to stay out of the sheriff’s business. But her neighbor’s daughter, Clare, needs Susan’s help. Clare’s been experiencing lost time, a sure sign of alien abduction. Helping Clare is only neighborly… and totally not interfering.
Right?
Worse, Clare’s not the only one with UFO issues. Weird lights in the sky, vanishing cows, and little green men are bringing the mountain town of Doyle to the edge of a panic. Can Susan unearth the truth before her town spirals into chaos?
If you like laugh-out-loud mysteries with complicated heroines (and breakfast recipes), you’ll love Close Encounters of the Curd Kind, book 3 in the Wits’ End series of cozy mystery novels. Read this twisty cozy caper today!
Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss is a fantastic story, with mystery, paranormal, and very realistic characters.
Will Susan solve the murders and stop the town from being invaded by aliens in time?
Susan Witsend
Sue is our sleuth, alien expert, owner and operator of the Wit’s End B&B. She is excellent and so realistic. I loved the way she fought off her demons while helping others with their issues. Susan and her cousin Dixie make a good team. I can’t wait to read more of the marvelous series.
Mystery
The mystery is reminiscent of Scooby-Doo in some ways. There seems to be a lot going on in the small town of Doyle, California. We have aliens, witches, ghosts, a murderer, law enforcement, and a circus in town. So things are hopping. It all kept moving at a fast pace.
5 Stars for Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss
Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss is captivating, and I loved the fresh look at the world around Doyle. This book is getting five stars. I highly recommend this story to all cozy readers out there.
Don’t forget to look for Fate, A Doyle Witch Cozy Mystery coming this November to see how the witches handle the similar issues that Susan just tackled.
