Deadly Delights

De: Laura Jensen Walker

Narrado por: Caroline Hewitt

August in Lake Potawatomi, Wisconsin, always means one thing: the annual baking contest. Picture The Great British Baking Show, writ Midwestern. It's a huge draw for the upper crust of Wisconsin pastry aficionados. And, of course, bon vivant baker-turned-mystery writer Teddie St. John has a pie in the ring. The white vinyl baking tent boasts an array of folding tables housing each entrant's daily baked good. And at one of those tables sits the corpse of the head judge, his face half-buried in a delectable coconut cream pie.

The body in question belonged to notorious Les Morris. Les may have been getting on in years, but he hadn't outgrown his well-earned reputation for lechery. Now, Les is no more. But unfortunately, by his side lies Teddie's distinctive embossed rolling pin...covered with blood.

It's out of the baking pan, into the oven. A life sentence behind a lattice of prison bars and a tangle of rhu-barbed wire will never do, and Teddie's quick wit and bohemian charm won't save her from the long spatula of the law. So, with the help of her friends, she'll concoct a recipe to clear her name - if the real killer doesn't ice her first.

Good Food...Be Careful!

Cozy mysteries are such a great type of book. You can get comfortable. The character are likable (mostly) and everything feels safe until someone dies. This author does a great job with this kind of book. This narrator is fun to listen to as she works her way through the characters and the murder!

AWESOME

Deadly Delights is delightfully entertaining with engaging characters and an interesting plot. There are several twists and turns and the mystery isn't easy to figure out. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

GREAT READ

I LOVE THIS SERIES, AND THOUGH I MISSED TAVISH, THIS BOOK WAS GREAT. IT COVERED A LOT OF TERRITORY FOR ONE COZY BUT NEVER FELT RUSHED OR OVERWHELMING. IT IS THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE. I AM ANTICIPATING A MURDER MOST ENGLISH FOR THE NEXT OUTING, NOT TO MENTION A LOT MORE TAVISH. CANNOT WAIT!
