It's Halloween in Crystal Cove and the Winsome Witches
Faire
is in full swing. The various vendors are raising money
for
the cause of literacy and Jenna Hart is busy preparing The
Cookbook Nook for the onslaught of shoppers.
Unfortunately,
one of the Winsome Witches ends up dead and murder is
suspected. Will Jenna resist becoming involved in another
murder investigation, particularly when her aunt and
co-owner of The Cookbook Nook is one of the suspects?
STIRRING THE PLOT is the third book in The Cookbook
Nook
Mystery series but can easily be read as a standalone.
However, readers who want a better understanding of
Jenna's
character in particular would appreciate reading the first
two books prior to STIRRING THE PLOT. Besides, who
wouldn't
want to enjoy reading more about Vera, Jenna, Cinnamon,
and
the rest of the Crystal Cove bunch?
A Halloween mystery set in Crystal Cove is perfect for
this
quirky little tourist enclave! I love visiting Crystal
Cove
each and every time as we see the various stores and get
to
spend time with some of the very unusual residents. The
concept of the Winsome Witches and their fundraisers for
literacy fits right in with the town. I also love the
scrumptious recipes included by Daryl Wood Gerber as I
only
wish we could get a sample to taste right along with our
reading pleasure!
STIRRING THE PLOT is yet another entertaining cozy mystery
as The Cookbook Nook series is just sheer fun! I
love
the twists and turns the storyline takes as Daryl Wood
Gerber does a marvelous job at crafting a good mystery
with
a phenomenal setting! It's impossible not to fall in love
with Crystal Cove and its colorful characters as STIRRING
THE PLOT is easily recommended.
3rd in nationally bestselling Cookbook Nook Mystery
series.
Halloween in Crystal Cove, California, is a big deal,
involving a spooky soiree where the Winsome Witches, a
fund-
raising group, gather to open up their purse strings and
trade superstitions. But party magicians, fortune-
tellers,
and herbalists are only the beginning of this recipe for
disaster...
Jenna Hart has packed The Cookbook Nook chock-
full of everything from ghostly texts to witchy potions
in
anticipation of the annual fund-raiser luncheon. But
there's one unexpected addition to the menu: murder.
When
the Head Priestess of the Winsome Witches is found dead
under mysterious circumstances, there's no logical answer
and plenty of blame to go around. With her aunt, Vera,
unable to call on her ability to foresee the future,
Jenna
will have to use more than just sleight of hand and a few
magic tricks to conjure up the truth...
