Public Anchovy #1

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me an advanced copy of this book, and to the author and publisher as well. This is my honest review.

I thought this was such a great story. Delilah is running a catering business and is asked to cater a Prohibition party in support of the local library. She gets ready and leaves for the party in the middle of a storm. The hostess calls her and tests her that a VIP guest wants a special pizza. Delilah isn't happy about it, but she agrees to make it.

Once at the party she realizes that a few people are behaving strangely. When one ends up dead and everyone is trapped at the party, she takes it upon herself to find out what's going on.

This had a real Agatha Christie feel to it, similar to, And Then There Were None. The characters were a real mixed bag of ones that you loved and ones you hated, but you still didn't know who were “really” the good guys. Also having them trapped in the house and the storm raging outside made it even better.

Each book I read gets better and better. Absolutely love this series and can I just say... FINALLY! If you know, you know. If you don't, start with book one and binge read.

I love Delilah and Capone. They are a great sleuthing duo. Delilah's crew is great too and adds the perfect taste to the story. This mystery was a fun one.

I am so thankful to the author and NetGalley for the review copy. On to the next installment!
