Something Borrowed, Something Bleu
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Love—and smelly cheese—are in the air. Sophie Mae has accepted Barr's marriage proposal, and they're trying to keep her mother, Anna Belle, from taking over their no-fuss, no-muss wedding plans. But when Mom finds a cryptic suicide note that Sophie Mae's brother wrote two decades earlier, Sophie Mae reluctantly makes a trip back to her hometown of Spring Creek, Colorado, to suss things out.
As she pokes around in other people's business while learning the finer points of artisan cheese making, a murderer strikes—with a glass bottle of milk. Soon, Sophie Mae discovers that aging cheese isn't the only thing in Spring Creek that doesn't pass the smell test.
Includes cheese-making tips!

Eighteen years after her brother's death, an early-morning phone call brings Sophie Mae Reynolds back home to Colorado to investigate.
Sophie Mae's bath-products business is flourishing, and she's about to marry detective Barr Ambrose. But her mother Anna Belle's call begging her to come home and read her brother's long-lost suicide note changes everything. The newly surfacing letter, sent by her brother Bobby Lee to his girlfriend Tabby and marked return to sender, says that he can't handle the guilt, but doesn't say what for. Sophie Mae uses Tabby's cheesemaking classes as an excuse for a visit to the dairy farm owned by Tabby and her husband Joe, who was Bobby Lee's best friend. Although Tabby is extremely reticent to talk about the past, Sophie Mae perseveres, and when Joe gets bashed to death with a cream bottle, the ladies alibi each other. Meanwhile, Sophie Mae researches the period of Bobby Lee's death, looking for an event that could have caused his guilty feelings. Several deaths at that time and problems at a ranch run for troubled teens may hold the answer. Arriving to meet her parents, Barr is embroiled in both Anna Belle's ambitious wedding plans and Sophie Mae's search for clues she hopes will clear up both Bobby Lee and Joe's deaths.
Another enjoyable entry in McRae's craft-centered series (Spin a Wicked Web, 2009, etc.). This time information about artisanal cheesemaking supplements the plausible mystery.(COPYRIGHT (2010) KIRKUS REVIEWS/NIELSEN BUSINESS MEDIA, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.)

Artisan cheese making and a really stinky cold case (or two) occupy soap maker Sophie Mae Reynolds of Cadyville, Wash., in Macrae’s well-constructed fourth Home Crafting mystery (after 2009’s Spin a Wicked Web). Sophie heads home to Spring Creek, Colo., after her mother, Anna Belle Watson, receives a disturbing letter, lost for 18 years, that never reached its intended recipient. Sophie Mae’s late brother, Bobby Lee, wrote the letter to his teen sweetheart, Tabby Atwood, shortly before hanging himself. Tabby, now married to Joe Bines, Bobby Lee’s best friend, is shocked when Sophie shows up at their dairy to take Tabby’s cheese-making class and show her the letter. The plot thickens after someone fatally beans Joe with a glass bottle of heavy cream. Likable characters and an easy-to-follow plot that doesn’t require knowledge of previous entries in the series are a plus.
