Laurel Inwood expected something more from her adoptive
aunt's restaurant. Instead of the linen tablecloths and
soft lighting, Terminal at the Tracks is dumpy, dusty,
and bedraggled. Unfortunately, Laurel promised Sophie
Charnowski that she would help her while Sophie
recuperates from knee replacement surgery. Terminal on
the Tracks isn't a very popular eatery but a dead body of
a local tv celebrity sparks quite a bit of attention. Can
Laurel solve the mystery while trying to save the run-
down diner?
I was a little skeptical about Laurel as a heroine at
first, as I was worried her celebrity chef experiences
would make her snooty. However, Kylie Logan hooked me on
Laurel from the very first moment she swallowed her angry
comments as Sophie showed her the dismal conditions of
Terminal at the Track. Declan Fury introduces Laurel to
the world of the Irish Travellers and it was fun to see
Laurel verbally spar with him.
And oh, I couldn't help but love Terminal at the Tracks!
For all of its dumpiness, the diner is a place of comfort
for the regulars who eat there. I love that Laurel
quickly recognized the diversity of the local cultures
and decided to utilize her skills in a different way.
What a fun beginning to the series! IRISH STEWED is the
first book in the Ethnic
Eats series and Kylie
Logan kicks it off with a touch of the Irish. From
scrumptious recipes to an intriguing mystery, IRISH
STEWED has a little bit of everything for the cozy
mystery reader. I look forward to seeing where Kylie
Logan takes this series as we explore other tasty
Ethnic Eats .
The national bestselling author of the League of Literary
Ladies Mysteries introduces an all-new cozy culinary mystery
series featuring ethnic eats.
After flopping as a personal chef to a Hollywood movie star,
jobless Laurel Inwood finds herself humbled in Hubbard,
Ohio, helping her aunt Sophie run her restaurant. Much to
Laurel’s dismay, Sophie’s Terminal at the Tracks is not the
cozy bistro her aunt would have had her believe—it’s a
run-down greasy spoon in an old railroad station. To save
the dingy diner, Laurel cooks up a plan to feature
alternating ethnic cuisine as specials.
But first there’s the problem of the body in the booth.
Slumped over a table with a receipt spike in his back is
Jack Lancer—”the Lance of Justice”—an investigative reporter
for local TV news. Assisted by the drop-dead gorgeous owner
of the neighboring Irish store—who may or may not be a
suspect—Laurel sets out to track down a killer who had no
reservations about impaling a newshound. But as she turns up
the heat, will she end up in the soup herself?
