Resumen del Editor

Nationally best-selling author Lucy Burdette's intrepid food critic Hayley Snow must sniff out a killer in the ninth Key West Food Critic mystery.

Key West food critic Hayley Snow scents-es something fishy when a customer falls stone-crab-cold dead on a seafood tasting tour.

Thanksgiving is nearly here, and Key West food critic Hayley Snow has just one more assignment to put to bed for Key Zest magazine before she gets to celebrate with her family and her police officer fiance, Nathan Bransford. Then, just days later, wedding bells will ring - if death doesn't toll first.

The sweet potatoes and stuffing will have to wait when Hayley picks up a distraught phone call from her friend Analise Smith. On the last stop of a seafood tasting tour run by Analise, one of the customers collapsed - dead. With the police on the verge of shutting down the tour - and ruining Analise's business - Hayley can hardly refuse her friend's entreaties to investigate.

As if wedding jitters and family strife weren't enough for Hayley to worry about, there's crusty pastry chef Martha Hubbard, whose key lime pie may have been the murder weapon - but did she poison her own pie or was she framed? As the hours to Turkey Day tick away, the pressure cooker is on for Hayley to serve up the culprit on a silver platter.

Just Ok

I really wanted to like this. Love the idea of including recipes. The food sounds yummy. The story line was ok, but the main character was annoying & somewhat self centered? The narrator made her sound upset most of the time. She worried about everything, it seems. The happy moments that she was supposed to experience came across as fearful or not sure. The relationship between the main character and her fiance was not developed well. I don't know...I'll give the author one more chance

Cute, easy listen

1. A Deadly Feast is a thanksgiving time food mystery but isn't centered around Thanksgiving.

This was a cute food mystery. Even though I haven't read any of the other books in the series, this was easy to follow and I didn't feel like I missed out on any of the characters back stories.

I would look into reading more of Lucy Burdette's cozy food mysteries.

Fantastic!

I listened to the first book and I had to have the second book. Both were fantastic and would be best enjoyed if you listened in order. It’s like going on vacation!

Another Good Read

I have enjoyed several of these authors stories and have enjoyed each and everyone.. Good writing good characters and good story plot.

Sappy Romance

There is no connection between the two romantic characters. The mystery story has some interest.

Not much of a story

It wasn’t very engaging,fell asleep trying to read it. Just not thrilling thriller, Started cute but fizzled.

Vibrant cozy and good narration!

I really enjoyed this book! I thought the narrator did well, but I think it would have been easier to follow with a bit more dynamic to the narration. The story hit a bit muddled and so it was hard to keep it straight sometimes in the narration when it was dialogue versus other narrative.

Good overall but performance could be better

The performer is a little too monotonic and could improve enjoyment if she could put a bit more emotion into the reading. I kept zoning out and had to rewind

The Florida Keys, A houseboat, Fun Foodies and

After a while one just wants to be with these people. It is a pleasant life in Key West and cooking is always fun. There are limits to how many versions of Key Lime Pie one can make though! I enjoy books where the people are good and kind. Of course there was a nerdwear and a bad guy too, but it hardly seemed to houseboat life of this small group in Key West. I especially like the strength portrayed for the 80 year old whom.
thanks. I will be looking for more by this author...Carol

It’s ok

This is the first book I’ve ever heard from this author. And it appears to be one in a long running series. So maybe imagination-wise, story-wise, I didn’t catch her at her best. But she totally lost me with a tarot card reading, and some other forced feeling scenarios. It has not inclined me to listen to the series as a whole. The performer’s recording was decent. I liked her voice and I liked her style.
