The truth is out there… the sheriff’s business. But her neighbor’s daughter, Clare, needs Susan’s help. Clare’s been experiencing lost time, a sure sign of alien abduction. Helping Clare is only neighborly… and totally not interfering.
Right?
Worse, Clare’s not the only one with UFO issues. Weird lights in the sky, vanishing cows, and little green men are bringing the mountain town of Doyle to the edge of a panic. Can Susan unearth the truth before her town spirals into chaos?
If you like laugh-out-loud mysteries with complicated heroines (and breakfast recipes), you’ll love Close Encounters of the Curd Kind, book 3 in the Wits’ End series of cozy mystery novels. Read this twisty cozy caper today!

I’ve read 3 of Kirsten Weiss’ ‘Wits End’ and 2 of her ‘ Tea and Tarot’ Cozy Mystery books and really liked them. I’ll be reading more when available.
Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss.
A good read with some good characters. A likeable story. I liked Susan. 4*.
Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss is a fantastic story, with mystery, paranormal, and very realistic characters.
Will Susan solve the murders and stop the town from being invaded by aliens in time?
Susan Witsend
Sue is our sleuth, alien expert, owner and operator of the Wit’s End B&B. She is excellent and so realistic. I loved the way she fought off her demons while helping others with their issues. Susan and her cousin Dixie make a good team. I can’t wait to read more of the marvelous series.
Mystery
The mystery is reminiscent of Scooby-Doo in some ways. There seems to be a lot going on in the small town of Doyle, California. We have aliens, witches, ghosts, a murderer, law enforcement, and a circus in town. So things are hopping. It all kept moving at a fast pace.
5 Stars for Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss
Close Encounters of the Curd Kind by Kirsten Weiss is captivating, and I loved the fresh look at the world around Doyle. This book is getting five stars. I highly recommend this story to all cozy readers out there.
Don’t forget to look for Fate, A Doyle Witch Cozy Mystery coming this November to see how the witches handle the similar issues that Susan just tackled.

I have not read any of the books in this series, and I didn’t have any trouble keeping up, there were a few references to the other books, but nothing that made you feel lost. The town of Doyle seems to have alot going on. There are alot of people in Doyle who believe in UFO’s and people have disappeared and then reappeared later, hinting at alien abduction. Are the sisters really witches, and what is with the disappearance of the cows, throw in a dead body and you have a great story. I did enjoy the book and will read more by this author.

Kirsten Weiss is one of those authors who manages to combine, murder, mayhem and aliens somehow. The resulting action and adventures are harrowing and hilarious- yet still deadly serious.
Oh, and we must not forget a bit of romance- kinda, sorta.
All in the name of good fun, living long and prospering – except for the abductions and getting dead parts.

This being the third book ive read in this series, id say this book is the best, and funniest, yet! The first two were excellent, so thats saying something! Loved the sightings, the cows, the camera crew, just everything. You cannot go wrong with a book written by Kirsten Weiss. Always exceptional reads. Give this a try. You will not be sorry.

Close Encounters of the Curd Kind is the third book in A Wits’ End Cozy Mystery series. This is a delightfully quirky cozy mystery with wonderful characters. The storyline keeps you thoroughly engaged as you laugh your way through Susan Witsend’s newest mystery. With missing cows and alien lights in the sky, we ask ourselves: Is there really alien life out there?
I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

There is another crazy mystery to be solved, but Susan Witsend, the owner of the famed UFU-themed Bed and Breakfast in Nevada, is not going to get involved. The town’s sheriff is more than happy to throw her in jail, but when Clare (her deceased neighbor’s daughter) asks for Susan’s help she just can’t seem to stay out of things. Can Susan solve the mystery? Will she end up in jail? Can she keep herself from becoming another casualty?
This is a wacky, laugh-out-loud, paranormal, cozy mystery with all the key elements. It is a mystery that includes strange UFO-like sightings, odd lights in the night sky, missing cows, and of course little green men (oh my!).

I have. not yet read the first two books so I did kind of feel like I was missing something. Even so, I love the characters, Susan and Claire among a few. I also loved the laugh out loud story and the amusing antics of these wonderful characters. If you like fun cozies with some zany UFO type antics, this is the book for you. I also LOVE the recipes.
