Boiled Over by Barbara Ross--review

 I enjoyed this book, and found the plot very interesting. However, I wasn't crazy about switching back and forth from the past to the present, with the chapter headings the only warning.  It actually was a little annoying to start a chapter and realize it took place a month or two before the chapter you just finished reading.
Julia Snowden has temporarily moved back to her hometown to help out with her family's clambake business.  She thinks that it will help the business to serve their food at the Founder's Day celebration, but unfortunately, a dead body is found in their oven.
One of their new, young employees is a suspect, so Julia decides she has to help out by doing a little investigating, while continuing to help out at the Founder's Day event.
She is also dealing with some confused feelings about her boyfriend, and whether she still wants to move back to her high powered job in the city.
I found the book enjoyable, the plot was well thought out, and the romantic part of it wasn't overwhelming.  


This was "B" in my Alphabet Soup Challenge, and #12 in both my 2021 Reading and Craving for Cozies Challenges.
