Murder with Fried Chicken and Waffles

Mahalia Watkins Soul Food Mystery Series, Book 1

By: A. L. Herbert

Narrated by: Machelle Williams

Halia Watkins has her hands full cooking, hosting, and keeping her boisterous young cousin, Wavonne, from getting too sassy with customers. Having fast-talking entrepreneur Marcus Rand turn up in her kitchen is annoying enough when he's alive - but finding his dead body face-down on her ceramic tile after hours is much worse.

Marcus had his enemies, and the cast iron frying pan beside his corpse suggests that at last, his shady business deals went too far. Halia is desperate to keep Sweet Tea's name out of the sordid spotlight but her efforts only make Wavonne a prime suspect.

Now Halia will have to serve up the real villain - before the killer returns for a second helping....

Cute and cozy

This was a cute book. It was a good mystery. The characters and storyline were relatable. It was nice to hear characters that sound like my family, f friends, and people I know. I loooved the recipes and will definitely be trying my hand at the corn casserole.

A good listen

Typical murder mystery themed series with enjoyable and relatable characters. The narrator is great and keeps the listener engaged.
