Zoe Chase takes a leap of faith and leaves her banking job
to buy a diner. Zoe has always been more interested in
cooking than banking but her parents and ex-fiance are all
convinced she needs an intervention.
The diner she buys is in a sketchy part of town near a
homeless shelter. To save money, Zoe is sleeping in the
diner . While she works on fixing it up, she is operating a
food truck selling her specialty of deep fried biscuit
bowls.
Whatever hasn't sold for the day, goes to the homeless
shelter. Zoe has made friends with one of the residents,
Ollie, who helps her out and gives her advice on how to
enhance her business.
Zoe falls afoul of another food truck owner. When he is
found dead in her truck, Zoe's life take a turn for the
worse. Now, she's a suspect in a murder investigation, her
truck is broken into, her pampered cat, Creme Brulee, is
kidnapped and her family tries to intervene.
Zoe and her new lawyer, Max must work together to solve the
mystery.
The plot in DEATH ON EAT STREET is extremely clever and
interesting to the reader. Couple that with some unique and
fascinating characters, J.J. Cook has another winner on the
market. You will laugh along with Zoe as she delights in
her new friends. Your heart will be in your throat as you
experience the threats and the difficult situations she
faces.
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.
