Maxie never thought that she would be running a food wagon.
But when her father disappears, she has no choice. Her
first choice would have been to do it alone, but she has to
work with her step sister Sylvia. When they were younger
they got along, but now they can barely stand each other.
Her father Jack has been missing for over six weeks. There
are some clues, but nothing has panned out. Maxie has
dumped Roberto after having a very heated argument. Now
several hours later, Roberto's body is found. Maxie of
course
is the first suspect. Maxie has no idea who would have
killed Roberto; she just knows that she didn't. In a
strange twist of fate, her step sister is arrested for the
murder. Come to find out, Sylvia was living with him, but
Roberto used a different name. They parted on really bad
terms as they were in competition together and he stole one
of her winning ideas.
Nick is the security guard for the chili cook off circuit.
Not that he wants to get involved in the murder of Roberto,
but Maxie, drags him into it. So together they try and
solve this murder. Apparently several people had it out
for him. Not only did Roberto have many enemies but he also
went by a lot of different names.
Some of the people on the circuit knew him, but everyone is
keeping secrets. Nick and Maxie have to drag information
out of them, because no one is telling. After stumbling on
some important info, can Nick and Maxie finally solve this
case and move on to look for her missing father.
One of the reasons that I enjoyed Kylie Logan's book is
because it had humor and mystery.
Not only that, but at the end it includes recipes of some of
the foods that were mentioned in the book. Since some of
the
food made my mouth water, I was really glad to see the
recipes at the end. Since the missing father was not found
in this book I am sure that there are going to be more to
this series.
Bean there…done that…
Romance is supposed to be the spice of life. But Maxie
Pierce is so done with bad relationships—well, almost. She
just has to get rid of the latest loser, Roberto. Besides,
she has more important things to worry about. Her daddy,
Texas Jack Pierce, king of the chili cook-off circuit, has
been missing for nearly six weeks now. In his place, she
must team up with her irritating half sister, Sylvia, to
promote the family business at the Taos Chili Showdown, to
be judged by celebrity chef Carter Donnelly.
But when Maxie discovers Roberto’s body in the chef’s
trailer—only hours after publicly breaking up with him while
wearing a giant red chili pepper costume—she suddenly finds
she’s the one in the spotlight as the police pepper her with
questions. Now this Chili Chick needs to kick up the search
to catch the real killer and get back to finding her father…
