Southerners are pretty loyal to their favorite BBQ, and
residents of Memphis are no different, according to Riley
Adam's delectable new book DELICIOUS AND SUSPICIOUS: A
Memphis BBQ Mystery.
Lulu Taylor's family has owned Aunt Pat's barbecue joint
for years, and it has a loyal and rambunctious following.
When the Cooking Channel sends a scout down to check out all
the Memphis eateries for the best barbecue in town, the
folks at Aunt Pat's are all overcome with excitement,
because they know their barbecue is the winner, hands down.
But when that food scout insults everybody coming and
going, and then turns up dead at the famous Peabody Hotel,
well, things just got a little spicier than intended in M-
town.
With a list of suspects as long as her arm (including
her daughter-in-law, her great-nephew, even her own son
Seb), and talk spreading around town that it was Aunt Pat's
barbecue that was the cause of the untimely demise, it's up
to Lulu to figure out just who-dun-it before her business
and family go under!
Riley Adams (aka author Elizabeth Spann Craig) creates a
lively, fast-paced mystery that will delight readers with
its intrigue, and set their mouths to watering with all the
tasty descriptions of the yummy treats found at Aunt Pat's.
It's a pleasure to make the acquaintance of the cast of
quirky and unique characters, including Lulu's legion of
girlfriends, loyal customers and family. As the main
character and head of the Taylor family, Lulu is just a
doll (think Paula Deen with a bluesy side). The inclusion
of scrumptious recipes for barbecue and all the fixings adds
just the perfect finishing touch to this appetizing story.
With this debut novel in the Memphis BBQ series, readers are
sure to look forward to more adventures with Lulu and her
family.
Welcome to Aunt Pat's barbecue restaurant, which serves up
Memphis fun with a side order of murder.

pointing to Aunt Pat's restaurant. Horrified that her
family is being accused of murder, Lulu fires up her
