Great bread cookbook for those who want to prepare and bake bread on different days

Make Ahead Bread: 100 Recipes for Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fresh Bread Every Day

By: Donna Currie

Rating: 5 of 5

makeaheadbread“Make Ahead Bread” by Donna Currie is a beautifully put together cookbook which focuses on breads which can be prepped the day before baking. This answers a real need for me and, I would guess, a good number of others who simply don’t have the time for both preparation and baking on the same day.

Funny and interesting mystery read

Lowcountry Boneyard (A Liz Talbot Mystery) (Volume 3)

By: Susan M. Boyer

lowcountryboneyard“Lowcountry Boneyard” is the first book I have read by Susan M. Boyer. It is the third book in her series about private investigator Liz Talbot. I often start a series in the middle and am always curious as to whether or not the book relies too heavily on its predecessors. I was able to enjoy this book as a stand-alone; however, given how much I enjoyed it, I would suggest that readers read the series in order. I definitely plan to pick up the first two in the series in the near future.

Liz is in her early thirties and has been in the P.I. Business for more than a decade. She is hired to investigate the month old missing person case of a young, wealthy woman named Kent. The police have back burnered the case, feeling that the young woman has left the area voluntarily to get away from her controlling parents. The more Liz finds out about Kent’s extremely wealthy family, the more suspicious she becomes of them.
