Former reality TV baking show contestant and recent divorcée Hope Early is trying to find her recipe for success as a food blogger—but murder keeps getting in the mix . . .
When Hope’s elderly neighbor perishes in a home fire, she can't help but feel somewhat responsible. Only the day before, Peggy Olson had called her over, having burned a pot on the stove while she was sleeping and filling the house with smoke. In fact, she couldn't even remember cooking. Clearly, it was dangerous for the woman to live alone.
But it turns out she wasn't alone. When a second body is discovered in the basement of the burned house, suddenly what appeared to be a tragic accident is beginning to look like premeditated murder. As rumors spread like wildfire, Hope is determined to sort out the facts and smoke out a killer, but she might be jumping from the frying pan straight into the fire . . .
Includes Recipes from Hope’s Kitchen!

Oh no Hope is back at it again.

The Hidden Corpse by Debra Sennefelder is her second book out for her A Food Blogger Mystery series and this book is really fantastic. Ms. Sennefelder has created an awesome world of characters.

What I liked:

  • This novel is written in the third person, but we still follow Hope around. Hope is our sleuth, and she is an excellent representative of how hard any type of blogger works for his or her blog.
  • I liked how Ms. Senefelder drew on her past work of being a food blogger for this character and how much work that is for anyone.
  • Hope is fantastic at putting the clues together. She saw things that other people didn’t think to connect those dots.
  • Her house seems so inviting especially her kitchen. I wouldn’t mind cooking, baking or even more taking photos in that kitchen.
  • Hope’s relationship with the police chief is so cute, and I hope that their relationship lasts with her sleuthing.

The Hidden Corpse CRWhat I disliked:

Just one thing and that was I didn’t want her next door neighbor Peggy Olson to die. The poor woman.

Five Star

The Hidden Corpse by Debra Sennefelder is the perfect book to understand more about a blogger’s life. I loved it, and I can’t wait for the next book of this series. I am giving this novel a five-star rating and recommending to everyone who loves cozy mysteries with a culinary side.
