A Cookbook Nook Mystery

My 56

I no longer read literary novels. Now I devour mysteries and thrillers. In my preteen years, I discovered Agatha Christie: Appointment with Death, Murder on the Orient Express, Ten Little Indians. I swear, after reading all of her books, I imagined myself as an amateur sleuth. In addition, I am also a cookbook fiend. But nonfiction? About fishing lures? Bleh.

Synopsis

The Agatha Award–winning author of Stirring the Plot returns to the Cookbook Nook in Crystal Cove, California, where February brings Pirate Week, National Chocolate Month—and bitter murder…

Pirate Week is sweeping through Crystal Cove and keeping Jenna Hart and her bookstore, the Cookbook Nook, plenty busy. But she’s not too swamped to also host the local Chocolate Cookbook Club’s meeting—especially because the guest of honor is her friend, candy maker and cookbook author Coco Chastain.

Jenna whips up a delicious event amidst the rowdy festivities, but the mood is soon broken by robberies, simmering tempers, and a dead body—Coco’s editor, Alison. The suspects turn out to be more plentiful than a pot full of gold doubloons, so to prove Coco isn’t responsible for the dastardly deed, Jenna will have to stir up some clues and figure out who’s the real sticky-fingered killer…

INCLUDES RECIPES!

    This sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for visiting my blog.

  3. Elizabeth says:

    At first I thought the 56 was you giving us an intro to why you chose the book, how funny!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I know! I had several books piled up to choose from. I opened this one first and that quote was right at the top of the page. Too perfect not to use!

  4. Sounds like a lot a fun – plus there’s a cat in a hammock on the cover. 🙂

    Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).

  5. Just looking at the cover makes me want to pick it up. I love the beachy home and the view from the window. A murder on the cover, hmmm, I’m liking it.

  7. This sounds so good! I have the first in the series but haven’t read it yet but I’m really looking forward to it. Hope you enjoy it!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      This is another where I’m reading the series out of order. Seems like I do that a lot. LOL I’m having fun with it and will be going back for that first book.

  8. Emalie says:

    This read like an intro written by you, but it’s actually from the book itself. How funny 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  9. Breana M. says:

    This book definitely sounds interesting. I haven’t read any mysteries lately, but maybe I need to when I have the time. 🙂

  10. A mystery cookbook. Interesting.

  11. I had to do some research on fishing lures when writing my last book and I can tell you they’re not that interesting! Fudging the Books sounds like a fun story that I’d enjoy.
    My Friday post features The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty.

  12. Cozy mysteries always look so much fun. I hope you are enjoying this one.

  13. Nicole says:

    Another fun looking mystery I can watch for! Happy Friday!

  14. Adding to my GR. I love culinary cozies, especially with recipes!
    Happy weekend!

  15. Get pick! Pretty much the same reason I don’t read much literary fiction.
