Hayley Snow's wedding to Detective Nathan Bransford is just
around the corner, and all of the family is gathering for
both the wedding and Thanksgiving. Hayley has one more
foodie assignment to complete before the festivities begin,
but something goes awry on the seafood walking tour, and now
a woman is dead. Hayley's friend wants her help, but can
Hayley honor Nathan's wishes at the same time? And just
what is going on with Nathan anyway?
A DEADLY FEAST is the ninth book in the Key West
Food Critic series, which only gets better and
better with each new installment. Most of the books in the
series can be read as standalones, but I would suggest
reading at least one or two books just prior to A DEADLY
FEAST in order to gain an appreciation and understanding of
Hayley and Nathan's relationship. Otherwise, newcomers to
the series may develop a distaste for Nathan due to his
constant disappearing acts in A DEADLY FEAST.
Hayley and Nathan are facing some very real-world issues in
A DEADLY FEAST. From prewedding jitters to conflicts over
Hayley's tendency to play amateur sleuth, and even to
housing issues exacerbated by a recent hurricane, the
relationship between Hayley and Nathan is put through the
wringer in A DEADLY FEAST. I love that Lucy Burdette allows
us to see the more emotional side of both Hayley and Nathan!
Visiting the Keys is always a treat, and A DEADLY FEAST
reminds me that it's time to plan a trip again. Lucy
Burdette takes us to real Keys restaurants, showcasing the
tasty treats one can find in Key West. I love when I
recognize various locations I've visited already and use
Lucy Burdette's books as a guide to planning where to eat
on future trips. Hayley is the perfect guide for the various
restaurants in her role as a food critic, and I love each
and every trip with her- as well as my own ones in the real
world!
Lucy Burdette continues to delight readers with tantalizing
mysteries, scrumptious foods, and darned good characters in
the Key West
Food Critic series. A DEADLY FEAST is
perhaps my favorite installment yet as we see a lot more
emotions flowing, between the wedding, the mysterious
disappearances of Nathan, and the upcoming Thanksgiving
holiday. The Key West
Food Critic series is one of the best culinary cozy
mystery series out there, and Lucy Burdette hits it out of
the park with A DEADLY FEAST!
National bestselling author Lucy Burdette's intrepid
food critic Hayley Snow must sniff out a killer in the ninth
Key West Food Critic mystery.
Key West food
critic Hayley Snow scents-es something fishy when a customer
falls stone-crab cold dead on a seafood tasting
tour.
Thanksgiving is nearly here, and Key West
food critic Hayley Snow has just one more assignment to put
to bed for Key Zest magazine before she gets to
celebrate with her family and her police officer fiancé,
Nathan Bransford. Then, just days later, wedding bells will
ring—if death doesn't toll first.
The sweet potatoes
and stuffing will have to wait when Hayley picks up a
distraught phone call from her friend, Analise Smith. On the
last stop of a seafood tasting tour run by Analise, one of
the customers collapsed—dead. With the police on the verge
of shutting down the tour—and ruining Analise's
business—Hayley can hardly refuse her friend's entreaties
to investigate.
As if wedding jitters and family
strife weren't enough for Hayley to worry about, there's
crusty pastry chef Martha Hubbard, whose key lime pie may
have been the murder weapon—but did she poison her own pie
or was she framed? As the hours to Turkey Day tick away, the
pressure cooker is on for Hayley to serve up the culprit on
a silver platter in A Deadly Feast, national
bestselling author Lucy Burdette's taste-tempting ninth Key
West Food Critic mystery.
