"A Valuable Recipe...we all have them, but is one worth dying for?"

Mystery Cozy

Zoe worked at a bank for five years. Zoe hates this job and hates it even more when she is passed over for a promotion. Zoe quits her job to follow her dream...owning a diner and having a food truck.

Zoe's boyfriend Tommy Lee and her family think that she has lost it. Zoe knows this is what she wants to do. Her best recipe is for deep fried biscuits. Zoe never thought that driving her food truck would have her as part of a murder investigation.

Someone has stolen a recipe that belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Everyone wants to get this recipe as it worth over a million dollars. Can Zoe get out of this or is the DEATH ON EAT STREET her dreams dying?

J.J. Cook's writes a delightful story. Who would have thought to say a recipe would be worth that much money. I found myself laughing at some of the antics in the story line. The character of Zoe is a delight. The style of writing that J.J. Cook uses is very easy to get into.

DEATH ON EAT STREET begins a new series by J.J. Cook and I can't wait to read more about the life of Zoe.

SUMMARY

Zoe Chase always wanted to own her own restaurant—but first, she’ll have to serve up a heaping helping of meals on wheels, with a side of mystery…

When she’s once again passed over for a promotion at work, Zoe decides to take the big leap and go for her dream. She quits, gives up her fancy digs, and buys a fixer-upper diner in a shady part of town. To keep above water during the renovation, she buys a used food truck to serve the downtown and waterfront of Mobile, Alabama.

Zoe starts to dish out classic Southern food—but her specialty is her deep-fried biscuit bowls that blow traditional bread bowls away.

After a promising start, things start to go downhill faster than a food truck without brakes. First, someone tries to rob the cash register. Next, Zoe is threatened by the owner of a competing food truck for taking their spot. And when the owner ends up dead inside Zoe’s rolling restaurant, Zoe and her sole employee, Ollie, find themselves hopping out of the frying pan into the fryer. They need to find the real killer, before both of them get burned.
