Murder 101 by Lynn Cahoon lets us finally find out why Mia's mom gave up her heritage.
Will the killer get away once the high school reunion is finished?
Mia Malone
Mia Malone is a kitchen witch who runs a catering business specializing in takeaway meals and cooking classes. The catering part is why Mia is stuck not only catering to her new home's high school class reunion but also hosting the reunion at her home. Mia has her hands full of drunk adults trying to do things that were once prohibited for them, but also dealing with her mom. Yeah, Theresa Malone was once a high school member of St. Catherine's School, Mia's new home and business center, and gave up her witch inheritance. Mia doesn't allow anyone to walk all over her and tries not to let her mom's presence affect her anymore. I have to say that Mia made many good decisions for a short book, especially with the murder and her family.
The Victim
Robin Hanover, the mean popular girl in high school, was found deceased in the chemistry classroom on the second floor. Mia isn't happy that another death happened in her home. In all pretenses, Robin Hanover looked like the equivalent of a person having a great life after high school ended. She married the high school quarterback while she was the head cheerleader, and they looked like a happy perfect couple. In reality, that was far from the truth. Just who had the ideal motive to kill Robin?
Five Stars
Murder 101 by Lynn Cahoon has our kitchen witch sleuth that is trying to restart her adult life in Magic Springs, Idaho. I love each installment from this series when I get a chance to read it. I'm giving Murder 101 by Lynn Cahoon five stars and recommending it to anyone that wants to try it out. The book also has a recipe in the back. It's called Monkey Bread.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Murder 101 by Lynn Cahoon.
Until the next time,

I am really enjoying the series so far. The novellas help keep the series going and gives you an introduction to characters that will show up in the next book.

Mia is catering the reunion for her mother's old school, the one she happens to live in now. When the leader of the planning committee is found dead, can Mia find out what happened before her business is ruined?
I really love Lynn Cahoon's writing. I just cannot stop reading her books! I love this new series from her and I love these new characters. I did get a bit lost at the end of this one. I had to reread the last few chapters a few times before I comprehended who the killer was. I'm so excited for more!
