Her boyfriend, Ari, seems to be a stable, supportive partner, which is nice in a male character. She's a take-charge, get things done kind of woman, and you can only root for her to figure the case out before something more sinister happens. Carly isn't a needy, weak female protagonist like some cozy mysteries seem to have. This was an easy read, with likeable characters. Restauranteur Carly is on the case though! Against the advice of the Chief of Police, her boyfriend, and all of her friends, Carly keeps gathering clues as to who the killer is, and the killer is a little too close for comfort. At the bridal shower, the groom-to-be ends up dead at the bottom of the stairs, and no one has any idea of who the culprit is.
In this novel, Carly runs into some schoolmates who come into her grilled cheese eatery, and she ends up doing a favor by catering the bridal shower for one of them.
I did not feel like I was missing the backstory between Carly and any of the other characters. Although I didn't realize that this was the third in a cozy mystery series, that did not detract from the story in any way.
