A Clue in the Crumbs

Key West Food Critic Mystery, Book 13

De: Lucy Burdette

Narrado por: Laura Jennings

Food critic Hayley Snow and her pal Miss Gloria are overjoyed to welcome Violet and Bettina Booth, aka the Scottish Scone Sisters, to Key West. The sisters will host The UK Bakes!—Key West Edition. But the same day they arrive, the bed-and-breakfast the sisters are staying in gets torched.

The contest begins the next morning featuring three local bakers. One is the inn owner’s wife, Rayna, who is not only the most talented chef of the group but now a person of interest in the fire. The next night, a dogwalker discovers a body near the bed-and-breakfast. The victim appears to be Rayna’s husband, and the murder weapon points directly to the Scottish Scone Sisters.

But the show must go on. In between filming sessions, the three elderly ladies and Hayley must search for clues to the brutal murder in order to find out who wants to force them out of the kitchen. But as they draw closer to the answer, the threats from a murderer grow closer too. Are they now in danger of getting baked off?

Quotes and “to die for”

Love this series, but hate the quotes at the beginning of each chapter - they are distracting, usually irrelevant and in the last couple of books, author had not only quoted herself, but is actually quoting her characters! The phrase “to die for” was so over-used in this book that, if I was still in college, we would have made it into a drinking game. (Ok - maybe my book club did that even though we are long past college 😉)

fun light listen

enjoyable, relaxing listening. fun to hear about the Keys and food, One of my favorite series.
