What readers say
Daryl Wood Gerber is best known for food-and-setting cozies, including the Cookbook Nook mysteries on the California coast, the French Bistro books in Napa Valley, the Fairy Garden series and the newer Literary Dining mysteries. Readers love her luscious food descriptions and recipes, vivid scenery, warm amateur sleuths and plenty of suspects, and many fans say her series improve as they go. Common criticisms are large casts that are hard to keep straight, cluttered pacing, meddling heroines, so-so romances and series openers that don't always live up to expectations.
Best for: Readers who love foodie cozies with recipes, scenic settings and lots of suspects.
