Murder with Honey Ham Biscuits

By: A.L. Herbert

Narrated by: Machelle Williams

As the owner of Mahalia’s Sweet Tea, Halia Watkins is famous in Maryland’s Prince George’s County for her down-home cuisine. But when she has the chance to showcase her talents on national TV, she becomes the star of a murder mystery that’s too hot to handle!

When Halia is invited to serve as a guest judge on the popular cooking competition show Elite Chef, she’s delighted to add some extra flavor to the mix. But as filming ramps up in Washington D.C., there are too many fiery personalities in the kitchen. Halia discovers that pulling off her small screen debut unscathed means contending with a longtime competing restaurant owner, an infamously crass hospitality mogul, and a group of cutthroat contestants vying for culinary glory....

The competition sizzles with only a few finalists left standing - and goes cold when the gorgeous young frontrunner is found dead. As murder accusations are slathered over a recently eliminated contestant, Halia, with some bungling assistance from her wise-cracking cousin Wavonne slides into an investigation of their own. A little snooping reveals the victim burned lots of bridges, leaving a slew of alleged affairs and stolen recipes in her wake. With a fast-rising list of potential suspects, Halia must sort through mindboggling clues to fry the flaky culprit before someone else gets baked to a crisp....

Interesting Book that keeps the reader attention

i started this new series with a strong female character and an interesting cousin for comical effects. The characters are hsrd working women who run into people of varying backgrounds that lend themselves to someone getting killed. i personally wish the murder would take place soon in the book and there would be more time for investigation with the character development. i don't need to kno s much about the characters before I know who the victim will be. I read many thrillers and mysteries. The dialogue is very good and I plan to get all of the Audible Books on the series. The recipes sound great. I personally wish they were at the end of the book, but I will go back an write them down. especially that cornbread.

the characters where wonderful

new plot this was a bit better then the other one. a new twist a new characters in a weird way to die

little slow

it took a long time to get to the good part. throughout the story I kind of knew who was going to be the killer in sort of why she was and why she murdered her

Great from beginning to end

All of these books are great! I wish I could see it on the screen.

Slow start but a wonderful addition to the series

I have read and highly recommend this entire series. Although this particular book was a bit slower to get to the murder than the others in the series, I still recommend it. The overall story is great - many layers and different paths to keep readers interested and engaged. Nicole Walker, the narrator, continues to bring the characters and settings to life as she has in the previous books.
