Reviews for A Roux of Revenge

A well-plotted and solidly-written mystery, as flavorful and satisfying as the unique and hearty soups served at By the Spoonful.  Bookwyrm’s Hoard

I cant wait to get . . . future books so I can continue reading this series.  5 stars!  My Recent Favorite Books

The best thing . . . is how it kept me guessing until the very end!  Great series, and one I’ll be keeping up with from now on.  A Chick Who Reads

I cannot wait to read more from this author. I hope that a Christmas theme is coming soon!  Deal Sharing Aunt

A Roux of Revenge had everything I like in a cozy: great setting, fun characters, and enough suspects to make it hard to figure out who done it.  Beth Fish Reads

Archer spins a wonderful mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. Booklady’s Booknotes

I really adore this series and this book has me wanting more. Archer has a fantastic writing style that will suck the reader in from the very first page.  Girl Lost in a Book

This series and this book in particular is a feast for the senses.  Debbie’s Book Bag

This is definitely a great series!  Date with a Book

New England has a rich history which is reflected in this book . . . . I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves culinary cozies!  Mochas Mysteries and Meows
