There's a new, nationally-bestselling mystery series, the COOKBOOK
NOOK mysteries, written by Daryl Wood Gerber, whom many
know as Avery Aames, author of the Agatha Award-winning
CHEESE SHOP mysteries.
The latest in the series, INHERIT THE
WORD, garnered rave reviews.
"...Readers will relish the extensive cookbook
suggestions, the cooking primer, and the whole foodie
phenomenon. Gerber's perky tone with a multigenerational
cast makes this series a good match." ~Library Journal
When
tempers get too hot to handle, someone's bound to get grilled.
Jenna Hart moved back to Crystal Cove, California, with the
intention to relax and help her aunt, Vera, run the local
culinary bookshop and café. But it's hard to follow a simple
recipe for relaxation when murder gets thrown in the mix...
The Cookbook Nook is set to host the town's upcoming Grill
Fest, a tasty tradition which pits local amateur chefs
against one another to concoct the most delicious dishes.
This year's challenge: Grilled Cheese. But with competing
chefs bearing grudges from past years, more mouths are
running off than salivating.
The expression "too many cooks" proves all too true when the
eight-time champ is found murdered in the alley behind the
café. Soon a local diner owner (and Jenna's "second mother")
is suspected of bumping off the competition, and Jenna has
to douse the flames before the wrong person gets burned...
