This was a perfect book for one of those days when it's too hot to want to read something deep and scholarly, but you also don't want your brain to melt and run out of your ears for lack of use. The mystery kept my mind working but wasn't so frustrating that it was no fun to read.

A great book by a fantastic author. The writing is excellent and the mystery keeps you turning the pages. Characters are well developed. Highly recommend.

When Angie Turner moves back to her hometown to open a farm-to-table restaurant with her best friend and business partner Felicia, she hopes that she can find her place and introduce the town to all the fresh produce the local area has to offer.

Little does she know that she will be caught up in the murder of the local goat cheese producer, Old Man Moss, an old friend of her late grandmother and an incredibly grumpy man!

I really enjoyed this story, we're introduced to some interesting characters, a wonderful setting and secrets from the past. There's also a baby goat called Precious, a hen called Mabel and a gorgeous St. Bernard puppy called Dom, how could I not enjoy this?!

Will be starting the 2nd book in this series soon and see how the animals are doing.

*Huge thanks to Kensington, Lyrical Underground, Lynn Cahoon and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own*

I enjoy several other series by this author and wanted to give this one a whirl. I was not disappointed! I like the concept of a chef and using local food sources. The mystery was engaging and I was surprised as the mystery was unraveled. Can't wait to read the next book!

I love Lynn Cahoon and I love foodie books so I was really excited to start this series. I liked reading about Angie setting up her new restaurant and all the complications that happen - especially when dealing with small vendors. The murder occurs pretty near the beginning and the plot really got moving. I enjoyed the community Cahoon created and Angie especially is a character I'm looking forward to seeing again. While I did enjoy this read it wasn't my favorite book from Cahoon. I'm not sure if this series just doesn't click with me as much as her South Cove series or if this book just suffered a bit from first book setup issues. This aside, I'm definitely looking forward to continuing the series.

This was a standard cozy mystery type of book. Not bad. Interesting to peak behind the farm to table concept for restaurants.

This is the first book in the Farm-to-Fork Mystery series. Angie Turner moves to her grandmother's farm in Idaho and opens a restaurant where all the food comes from the farm itself. It's a great concept and she and her partner Felicia are excited and ready to go. Unfortunately, just as they're about to open, their goat cheese vendor is found murdered. Angie wants to solve the crime so she can open her restaurant and get on with her life.

I thought this book was charming. The setting was great and well-described, and I loved the characters, I will definitely read the next book in the series.

Thanks to Lyrical Underground and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Angie and Felicia lost their restaurant in San Francisco (rent issues) so they move back to Angie's home state of Idaho and start a new restaurant where are only using farm fresh ingredients. When their goat cheese supplier turns up dead, Angie feels she needs to solve this murder especially when she starts getting threats.

The characters were fun, the setting humorous and the mystery well-crafted.

WHO MOVED MY GOAT CHEESE? is a fabulous first in a new series by Lynn Cahoon. Great characters, and a wonderful plot, this is a cozy you won't want to miss!

This was a fun and breezy debut mystery. Angie and her friend Felicia are readying their new farm to fork restaurant, The County Seat, when a local goat cheese provider is killed. I never thought that much like the cow v. sheep debate of the Old West, there would be dairy cow versus goat milk cheese feelings in modern day Idaho. The setting sounds beautiful and I like Angie's growing menagerie! I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

I really enjoy Ms. Cahoon's Tourist Trap other series and I was excited to see that she had a new one. Angie and Felicia are likable co-owners of the newest restaurant. I enjoyed learning more about sourcing local ingrediants as well as what is involved in opening a new dining spot.

The mystery was well-written and the story flowed well. I look forward to reading more in this series!

I read this story specifically, because I was traveling to Idaho and wanted to read a cozy set in or around Boise. Who Moved My Goat Cheese fit the bill perfectly. This is a well-written and plotted cozy that introduces a new sleuth to the genre. Nothing earth shattering or different about the premise, but again, cozies are nice in part because they have some predictability.

So, this story features the owner of a farm-to-table restaurant, interesting characters including a Basque chef (I discovered there is a large Basque community in Boise, so I was glad to see this character was included and look forward to learning more about his culture). If you're a fan of culinary cozies, I think this is one more to add to your reading pile.

One of my absolute favorite authors and this new series did not disappoint. I don't know how she keeps coming up with all of these new ideas but I truly enjoy benefiting from it! I would highly recommend this series.

Friends Angie Turner and Felicia Williams have decided to start their second joint venture in the sedate little town of River Vista where Angie grew up under her grandmother’s influence. Planning a farm-to-fork restaurant, the freshest commodity they discover is the murder of the local goat farm curmudgeon.

Big kudos to Lynn Cahoon, author of a new Farm-to-Fork Mysteries series beginning with Who Moved My Goat Cheese? A clean book, and one in which I was pleased to not encounter any bad language. Although this is a rule of cozies, it is one that is increasingly broken.

There were some good red herrings and twists and turns, with just the right amount of what the reader may also want... enough clues to feel the author’s villain makes sense, a hint of romance, and maybe even a possible love triangle to come in future books?

Cahoon includes some special touches, one that I consider a “good” cozy requirement and some others that just brought a grin to my face. The “requirement”? The cozy sleuth needs to spend as much time at her business working as she does sleuthing. Check. One special touch? The mention of Nona’s junk drawer. The second special touch is the goat being tied up outside at one point. I imagine I am not the only one whose memory of John Thompson piano lessons immediately kicks into high gear and starts hearing in my head, “Bill Gordon’s Goat...”

A fun cozy and a great start to a new series. I am grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy. A positive review was not required. All opinions are solely my responsibility.

The first book in the Farm to Fork Mystery series. Angie Turner is a chef who has come home to where her grandma raised her. She's inherited her grandma's farm and she decided to open a restaurant near it. Angie wants to use local farmer's produce and cheeses. One happens to be a local goat cheese producer. The old man who owns the goats and makes the cheese ends up dead. Angie suspects murder and tries to prove it. She is also interested in the man the helps run the local farmer's market. Not as a suspect but a love interest. In the end, Angie figures out who done it and gets her farm to fork restaurant open too.
I enjoyed this book. I'm a big fan of cozy mysteries that have a food theme. And I love goats! I also love cheese so this book was right up my alley. This book was a great start to hopefully a fun series.

Thank you for allowing me to receive a copy for review via NetGalley.

Who Moved My Goat Cheese is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by Lynn Cahoon.

There is no need to rehash the synopsis so I will not bother with it.

Farm to Fork restaurants are all the rage (and yay for that! Who doesn't love a fresh meal?) and provides the location of heart for the book. It also made my mouth drool!

Each character is great- I really found Angie to be likable BUT the animals? They're amazing! I loved them! Great addition to add a little character to a mystery!

The mystery was done well- building up to the finale of "who did it" with our heroes.

Well done and I can't wait to read more from this series!

This is the first book in a new series by Lynn Cahoon. For a first in a series, it took some time to introduce the characters and the setting which is why I did not rate this book higher. Angie Turner moves to Idaho after her grandmother has died. She is living on her farm and along with her business partner, Felicia, they plan to open a restaurant. Because of the farm setting they want the County Seat to be a farm-to-fork restaurant. Unfortunately, things are not going according to plan. The manager of the local farmer's market does not want his market vendors to get involved with these city slickers. Angie meets with a local curmudgeon, Gerald Moss, who has a goat dairy and makes cheese. He agrees to sell his cheese to the restaurant once he realizes who she is. He was friends with her grandmother. The others finally come around as well. Angie is feeling good about the opening of her restaurant until, Gerald Moss is found dead and it is determined that he was murdered. As Angie was one of the last people to see him alive and she is new in town, she thinks she needs to help solve this crime so her restaurant opens normally and this man she met gets justice.

I like the main characters of Angie, Felicia and Ian. There are some good secondary characters as well such as her neighbours and even the Sheriff. There are plenty of cute animals (Precious the goat, Dom the St. Bernard puppy and even a chicken) to round out the characters. The mystery moves at a nice steady pace. The Farm-to-Table theme doesn't overpower the mystery, but adds to the nice, cozy feel of the story. There were plenty of suspects and a couple twists to keep the suspense going. I am glad Angie is young because between her new restaurant and the sleuthing as well as taking care of her mini zoo, she is one busy person. There is a budding romance that I hope fleshes out in the next book. Anyone who has read any of Lynn Cahoon's other series knows that her writing moves the story along swiftly with a nice plot. I did figure out who the murderer was because he was the shadiest of characters but I did not know why he did it. I will read the next to see where this series goes. A good introduction to a new series for cozy mystery lovers.

Who Moved My Goat Cheese? by Lynn Cahoon is the first story in A Farm-to-Fork Mystery series. Angie Turner has moved to River Vista, Idaho to live on the farm she inherited from her grandmother (Nona). She has partnered with her best friend, Felicia Williams to open The County Seat which has a farm-to-table concept. It is only three weeks until they open, and the pair are still working to line up all their local vendors. One of the vendors they would like to work with is Gerald Moss of Moss Farm who sells goat cheese. The one caveat is the crusty Mr. Moss who only sells his products to people he likes. Fortunately for Angie, Mr. Moss and his goat Precious take to Angie right off. He talks to her about his farm, his cheese cave and a secret that he will enlighten her on in the future. The next morning Angie is told that Mr. Moss is dead. Angie soon discovers that not many people cared for Mr. Moss or are upset at his passing. This distresses Angie especially since Mr. Moss knew her Nona, and it sets her on the path to solving his murder. When Angie goes to investigate the scene of the crime, she comes across Precious and ends up with a new farm resident. Angie fits in her sleuthing in between setting up the restaurant, taking care of Precious and Dom (her St. Bernard pup), purchasing supplies for the restaurant, and visits from her neighbor, Mrs. Potter. Who disliked Mr. Moss enough to kill him? Angie is determined to find out in Who Moved My Goat Cheese?

Who Moved My Goat Cheese? is a good start to A Farm-to-Fork Mystery series. I liked the authors conversational writing style and the story had a steady pace. It made reading Who Moved Goat Cheese? a pleasure. The story has good characters, but I wished the author had given readers more of Angie’s backstory. I hope we learn more about Angie and Felicia in the next story. I loved Dom, Angie’s St. Bernard puppy. He reminds me of my dog, Doozy (his name tells you about his character). Dom was a delightful addition to the story as was Precious, the goat. Both were quirky, entertaining and added levity to the story. I like the theme of farm-to-table and it was nicely incorporated into the mystery. The mystery had several suspects and there was good misdirection. I was able to identify the killer early in the story, but it took longer to find out why this person killed Mr. Moss. The mystery had some intriguing elements (I would say more but I do not want to spoil it for you). I would like to have a little more action in the next book in the series. The life lesson about not being able to change the past and not to dwell on it is a good addition to the book. It is one many people struggle with daily (myself included). I am giving Who Moved My Goat Cheese? 4 out of 5 stars. I will be reading Killer Green Tomatoes when it comes out. Who Moved My Goat Cheese? is a feel-good cozy mystery that readers of Lynn Cahoon and cozy mysteries will enjoy.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.
