Death of a Kitchen Diva

The cozy town atmosphere really comes alive through the kitchen and local characters. I'm curious how much of this setting was based on real places or purely fictional.

Her passion for cooking and her community ties added warmth to the story, but I wondered if her baking skills played a bigger role in solving the mystery or if it was just for ambiance.

The book had some funny moments but also kept me guessing about the murder. I'm interested in how the author decided where to draw that line.
