I love food-based books, especially ones with recipes included! Just reading about candies, pastries, and tasty dishes makes me feel as if I had tasted and sampled them all. And that's better for my waistline than actually indulging in all the goodies!
Opening sentences, Chapter 1
"It's so beautiful," I practically cooed at the plain clay bowl sitting just inches from my face behind the glass. My fingers were itching to hold it.Book description (publisher):
"My niece could do better.": My assistant manager Kona laughed at me as she scooted by with a silver, multitiered tray of appetizers to place on a small table.
Two best friends sell books and bonbons—and solve crimes—in this mystery from the author of Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates…Recipes include Banana Foster and Mocha Truffles!
Michelle and Erica host a reception highlighting a new museum display of ancient Mayan pottery curated by Erica’s former mentor, Professor Addison Moody. The ladies offer servings of wine and chocolate.
The next day, the antiquities from the reception are discovered missing. The professor accuses Erica of having sticky fingers. And she’s only in more trouble after he’s found stabbed with one of the artifacts. Michelle must help Erica track down the real killer.
Thanks to the publisher for a review/feature copy of this book.
You wrote about the first book recently, didn't you? I think I bought it for my Kindle based on your recommendation. Or someone's. I should keep better records on that. Sounds like fun, although I will say that reading about candy and such and then wandering into my pantry (where there is no candy at all) is sad. LOL
ReplyDeleteI introduced the first book Jan. 14 this year but didn't review it. I hope you liked it.
