Mystery Cozy

Antoinette Chloe is the character of a small town in upstate New York. Everyone loves her. So why is someone framing her for murder?

Trixie will do all that she can when ACB is taken into custody for the death of her biker boyfriend, Nick Brownelli. Trixie is buying the Silver Bullet Diner, a Victorian home, and six small cottages from her aunt. She loves her new life and is determined to avoid men after her divorce.

Never mind, that Ty Brisco, the local sheriff keeps her salivating. Trixie is angry when Ty puts ACB in jail. Even when explains that it is really protective custody, Trixie isn't happy.

With a bunch of contestants for the Miss Salmon contest living in her house, the members of the biker club that Nick rode with camping out on her property and working the night shift at the diner, Trixie is willing to loose sleep to track down Nick's killer.

Ms. Wenger has written an excellent book with DINERS, DRIVE-INS, AND DEATH. The third in the Comfort Food Mystery series, the identity of the real killer was well - disguised until the end. Readers will drool as they read about all the food served in the diner. The interaction between Trixie and Ty adds a little spice to the stories. I want to know when the missing cook is going to show up again. Hopefully, we will finally get a glimpse in the next book.

SUMMARY

For Sandy Harbor’s tastiest comfort food, venture to the Silver Bullet Diner. But head next door to the new drive- in theater if you have an appetite for murder.

Trixie Matkowski has a tall order to fill this fall. Aside from dishing out delicious fare at the Silver Bullet during peak fishing season, she’s helping her friend—Antoinette Chloe Brown, or ACB for short—open a drive-in movie theater in the vacant lot beside her diner. It’s just the thing to take ACB’s mind off Nick, her missing biker beau.

But their plans are fried after Nick’s body is discovered during the groundbreaking for the drive-in. And when the police connect the murder weapon to ACB, she becomes the prime suspect in eighty-sixing Nick. With the fate of her innocent friend and her business on the line, Trixie must make the guilty party pay up before someone else gets stiffed.

Includes Delicious Home-Style Recipes!
