Avery Aames

It's more than a fabulous set of books—it's a collectible! Avery Aames’s first three CHEESE SHOP MYSTERIES are in multiple printings. In honor of the fourth, TO BRIE OR NOT TO BRIE, which comes out in February, Avery is giving you your choice of a FIRST edition. Sure, these are paperback, but they are firsts. In addition, for this particular giveaway, you may also request a copy of one title for a lucky friend. That’s two books.

The Long Quiche Goodbye
Lost And Fondue
Clobbered By Camembert

And what about that cute artwork on the left? That means money. Money is not a limited edition, but it is part of the prize. You'll also win a $15 gift card from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. What a fun way to start the new year!

The book world is abuzz about TO BRIE OR NOT TO BRIE. Murder, revenge, secrets. An open–air play, a wedding, and an estrangement ending in murder converge and force amateur sleuth Charlotte Bessette to ask the question: which suspect is deciding whether to kill or not to kill again?

The nationally bestselling series from Berkley Prime Crime has been praised as "fun and flirty," "a delicious read," and "It's not just gouda, it's great!" THE LONG QUICHE GOODBYE, the first in the series, won the Agatha Award for best first novel.

Charlotte Bessette—owner of Fromagerie Bessette, known by locals as The Cheese Shop— has a lot on her plate: setting a date with her fiancé, Jordan Pace, feeding the actors in her grandmother's production of Hamlet, and planning the menu for her best friend and cousin's upcoming wedding. At least her new creation—sinfully delicious Brie blueberry ice cream—has turned out perfectly.

Just days before the wedding, the estranged husband of Jordan's sister turns up dead in the Igloo Ice Cream Parlor's freezer, his head bashed with a container of Charlotte's signature ice cream. His death threatens everything that Charlotte has been working toward, and she has no choice but to add one more thing to her to–do list: find the killer before he ruins the big day...
