29. The Winter Lodge

This one is by the same author as Table of Five, a book I read earlier this year and really liked. This one was good as well, although I think the mystery aspect at the end was a bit forced and started too late in the book and then was wrapped up too quickly. Otherwise, it was a good book, it has some yummy sounding recipes throughout and I own it if anyone wants to borrow it.

Here's a review from B&N:

Susan Wiggs follows up her first book in the Lakeshore Chronicles (Summer at Willow Lake) with another satisfying installment set in the small town of Avalon, New York. The main story belongs to two 30-something locals, Jenny Majesky and Rourke McKnight. She runs the Sky River Bakery, founded by her grandparents, and writes a weekly newspaper column; he is the town's chief of police. They are longtime friends with a complicated history and a passion set on simmer. When Jenny's house burns down, Rourke insists on her bunking with him, even though he's a notorious bachelor. The new proximity entices the two to confront old hurts and dreams deferred, before their romance can blossom. There's a wonderful secondary plot involving teenage Daisy Bellamy, her friends, and a mystery that's solved in the snow. Thoughtfully, Wiggs includes Jenny's favorite recipes from the bakery.
