Synopsis

In the latest Southern cozy from the author of The Calamity Café, small-town chef Amy Flowers can’t take her freedom for granted when she’s served up as a murder suspect…

It’s Independence Day in Winter Garden, Virginia, and the residents are gearing up for their annual celebration. The Down South Café is open and flourishing, and Amy Flowers is busy making pies and cakes for the holiday. The only thorn in her side is Chamber of Commerce director George Lincoln, who is trying to buy the café so he can tear it down and build a B&B on the site.

When George collapses while eating at the Down South, everybody assumes it’s a heart attack—until the autopsy declares it to be poisoning. Now, it’s up to Amy to prove her innocence before her liberty is lost.

Includes delicious Southern recipes!

MY REVIEW:

I really enjoyed reading this book. This was the first that I had read from this author. There were so many "juicy" clues left that I was trying to put together and solve the mystery as I was reading. Just when I thought I had things figured out, something else unfolded and I was thrust into a new direction, I loved the characters, they are well written. I love that the author was able to write in a way that made me feel if I shut my eyes I could see the story unfolding around me. I could not put this down when I started reading - and I Hope that you don't either!

I received and advance readers copy of this book through the great escapes tour - all opinions are my own.
