*Agatha Award winner: best first novel.*

This is the first in A Cheese Shop Mystery series.

Welcome to the grand opening of Fromagerie Bessette. Or as it's more commonly known by the residents of small-town Providence, Ohio-the Cheese Shop. Proprietor Charlotte Bessette has prepared a delightful sampling of bold Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, delicious tortes of Stilton and Mascarpone, and a taste of Sauvignon Blanc-but someone else has decided to make a little crime of passion the piece de resistance. Right outside the shop Charlotte finds a body, the victim stabbed to death with one of her prized olive-wood handled knives.

Review

"The charm of the story is greatly enhanced by a very rich cast of characters."
--Booklist A.L.A. Magazine

"Not since Agatha Christie has a female author created an amateur sleuth with a penchant for details."
--Mark Sadler, Suspense Magazine

"The Long Quiche Goodbye marks the start of a successful, long-running series. Aames' characters are enjoyable, and Charlotte stands out from other amateur sleuths."
