Crystal Cove's yearly Grill Fest is scheduled to start
soon
and this year the Cookbook Nook is hosting it. The
competition is cutthroat between the local amateur chefs
vying to be this year's winner. Unfortunately, one chef is
now dead and the mother of Jenna Hart's best friend is now
a
suspect. Can Jenna help uncover the identity of a murderer
once again?
INHERIT THE WORD is the second book in the Cookbook
Nook
Mystery series but can easily be read as a standalone
story. Daryl Wood Gerber provides readers with enough
background information on the town and the residents in
order to fully appreciate INHERIT THE WORD. However, I
can't
imagine why anyone would want to miss out on the fun with
Jenna, Vera, and the rest of the Crystal Cove residents!
I never realized there were so many possibilities with
grilled cheese! Once again, Daryl Wood Gerber provides the
reader with scrumptious sounding recipes while the
storyline
itself contains multiple tantalizing hints of foods I only
wish I could sample. I am crossing my fingers and hoping
that Daryl Wood Gerber eventually provides us with a
cookbook featuring the Cookbook Nook Mystery
series.
We learn a bit more about Jenna's past in INHERIT THE WORD
as there is another underlying mystery within the
storyline.
I'm not sure how I feel about the secondary mystery but
it
does create some depth of character, as Jenna uncovers
some
secrets she could choose to keep hidden forever. I love
Jenna's commitment and loyalty to her friends and family
and
we see that element so thoroughly tested by the
revelations
she uncovers about her deceased husband, David.
INHERIT THE WORD is a strong second entry in the
Cookbook
Nook Mystery series! Jenna is a great main character
and
I am beginning to fall in love with all of Crystal Cove.
Fans of cozy mysteries, particularly those revolving
around
food, will love INHERIT THE WORD!
When tempers get too hot to handle, someone's bound to
get grilled.
Jenna Hart moved back to Crystal Cove, California,
with
the intention to relax and help her aunt, Vera, run the
local culinary bookshop and café. But it's hard to follow
a
simple recipe for relaxation when murder gets thrown in
the
mix...
The Cookbook Nook is set to host the town's upcoming
Grill Fest, a tasty tradition which pits local amateur
chefs
against one another to concoct the most delicious dishes.
This year's challenge: Grilled Cheese. But with competing
chefs bearing grudges from past years, more mouths are
running off than salivating.
The expression "too many cooks" proves all too true
when
the eight–time champ is found murdered in the alley
behind the café. Soon a local diner owner (and Jenna's
"second mother") is suspected of bumping off the
competition, and Jenna has to douse the flames before the
wrong person gets burned...
