Key Zest magazine has assigned Hayley to write a piece on the fest's grab-and-go food, so she's planning on hitting up the mobile eateries while checking out the party preparations. Hayley's office mate, Danielle, recently elected Queen of Fantasy Fest, is also buzzing between festivities and fundraisers. But when a former royal rival gets taken out, Hayley needs to put down her party hat and her pen and figure out who served up a side of murder--before Danielle gets crowned a killer"--Page [4] of cover.

A good cozy mystery. I liked the setting. The characters were plesant. The cop boyfriend was mysterious and hard to understand, as they all are. So I'm glad he doesn't appear often in this book. The solution was hinted at, but not obvious. How she figured out the solution was a little convenient and the ‘big' clues weren't that big. The job as food critic was a new career and living on a houseboat was new to me. She talked a bit about the food, but I didn't hear much critic. However, that might be because I came in on book 7.
Enjoyable series. Pleasant characters. Good mystery. The clues could have been stronger and I'm over the cop boyfriend in the cozy mystey.
