4-STAR REVIEW: CHARRED by G.P. Gottlieb

The Description

A Whipped and Sipped Mystery: Book 3
Publication Date: February 21, 2023

Alene Baron is dealing with frustrated employees, closed schools, and a homeless man who harasses customers outside the door of her café. Then, two dead bodies turn up in the burned remains of buildings owned by the husband of Alene’s best friend and pastry chef, Ruthie. Both bodies are wearing jackets that once belonged to Ruthie and crumbled in the pockets are the café’s distinctive wrappers. At the same time, Alene’s uncle, a convicted felon, has resurfaced after disappearing for 22 years. It’s all too much for the owner of the Whipped and Sipped Café.

The Review

Charred by G.P. Gottlieb is set against the backdrop of the Covid 19 Pandemic, so I was feeling all the feelings and emotions that the characters were feeling, too. It was intense. The fear of the virus, all the unknowns that were associated with the virus at the beginning of the pandemic. The hysteria over being six feet from everyone. It was all there in the book.  

I liked the community and family, creating strong bonds with neighbors and caring for each other, especially during the pandemic.

I also liked that the main characters store could make it through the pandemic with online ordering. The internet is such a wonderful thing.

There were a lot of characters that I needed to get straight in my head. The author made it easy as they usually referenced who was whom throughout the book, which made keeping track a little easier.

I’ve reviewed before for the now closed Romancing the Book. I love reading whether it’s an ebook or a good old-fashioned book book. The smell of a book is such a nice smell. I work with handicapped adults in my real life and I live in New York State.
