ST. PAUL, MINN. — Love and murder are in the air in Something Borrowed, Something Bleu by Cricket McRae (July), a contemporary cozy invovling artisan cheese making, a cryptic suicide note, a mysterious murder and wedding planning for the amatuer sleuth protagonist. Sophie Mae returns home to Colorado to help her mom solve a puzzling suicide note that Sophie Mae’s brother wrote two decades earlier. Determined to understand her brother’s past, Sophie Mae enrolls in an artisan cheese making class, taught by one of her brother’s former friends. While learning the finer points of cheese making (and poking around in the instructor’s business), a new murder is committed—her brother’s best friend, the instructor’s husband, has died. Needing to know what really happened with her brother and his best friend, Sophie Mae digs into the past, uncovering old wounds as she untangles a part of her brother’s life that is completely new to her. On top of all the investigations Sophie Mae is still trying to fend off her mother from planning for her upcoming nuptials. A former resident of the Pacific Northwest, Cricket McRae has always dabbled in the kind of practical home crafts that were once necessary to everyday life. The magical chemistry of making soap, the satisfaction of canning garden produce, and the sensuous side of fiber arts like spinning and knitting are just a few of the reasons these activities have fascinated her since childhood. For two years Cricket managed her own soap making business, including all product design, manufacturing and marketing. The author resides in Colorado.
