Description: The second book in a delicious culinary cozy series-the muensters have arrived in Balsam Dell in this Halloween cozy mystery featuring a grilled cheese shop owner turned amateur sleuth

After a long hot summer in Balsam Dell, Carly Hale is ready for crisp Vermont weather and gourmet grilled cheeses at her Grilled Cheese Eatery. And the upcoming Halloween food competition is the perfect way to impress the locals.

But Ferris Menard, the owner of Sub-a-Dub-Sub, is nursing a serious grudge against Carly. Two days before the competition, one of Carly's employees quit his part-time gig at Menard's sub shop, sending Menard into a serious snit. In a confrontation at the Eatery, Menard accused Carly of sabotage and vowed to bring her down.

That's when Menard's body is found in his kitchen the morning after the competition, a steak knife sticking out of his heart. But Menard had a slew of enemies, and if Carly doesn't figure out which one is the culprit, she might find herself-or someone she cares about-serving grilled cheese sandwiches under lock and brie!

My Thoughts: Linda Reilly's Grilled Cheese Mystery series has quickly become one of my favorites. This is the second book in the series, with a third one already on its way in 2023. I am a huge lover of Halloween and was ecstatic to learn that this book took place during Halloween. 

Carly, the main character and owner of the grilled cheese shop, has a personal investment in the murder of Ferris Menard and she will do anything to figure out who murdered him. She is suspicious of almost anyone who had a connection to Ferris whether it was a grilled cheese shop customer or even a close relative to Ferris Menard.

No Parm No Foul is a fast paced mystery that will keep you wanting more including a grilled cheese sandwich while you are reading. It keeps you guessing as to who the murder could be. Linda Reilly does a wonderful job weaving in different aspects of Halloween and grilled cheese puns throughout the book.

I cannot wait until the next book is released. I highly recommend this one and her previous book in the series Up to No Gouda.

Rating: 5 out of 5 as I absolutely loved this book and cannot get enough of them. Linda Reilly is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine with this series.

Many thanks to Poisoned Pen and Netgalley for this review copy. This is my honest opinion.
