When a romantic rival opens a competing restaurant in small-town Wheaton, Alabama, Sarah Blair discovers murder is the specialty of the house . . . For someone whose greatest culinary skill is ordering takeout, Sarah never expected to be co-owner of a restaurant. Even her Siamese cat, RahRah, seems to be looking at her differently. But while Sarah and her twin sister, Chef Emily, are tangled up in red tape waiting for the building inspector to get around to them, an attention-stealing new establishment--run by none other than Sarah's late ex-husband's mistress, Jane--is having its grand opening across the street. Jane's new sous chef, Riley Miller, is the talk of Wheaton with her delicious vegan specialties. When Riley is found dead outside the restaurant with Sarah's friend, Jacob, kneeling over her, the former line cook--whose infatuation with Riley was no secret--becomes the prime suspect. Now Sarah must turn up the heat on the real culprit, who has no reservations about committing cold-blooded murder . . . Includes quick and easy recipes!

As Emily & Marcus continue pushing for Southwind Restaurant to be open, awaiting only a final inspection, competitor (and nemesis)Jane has successfully opened hers...right across the street. Not only does she have an amazing cook, Riley Miller, she is also serving up amazing vegan dishes that are quickly becoming the town's favorite. So when Riley is found dead outside of Jane's Place it becomes the talk of the town.
Jacob, who is known to be smitten with Riley, is the one who finds her and of course becomes the number one suspect. As anyone in Wheaton will tell you, there is no way he killed Riley. So then who did and why? I guess that means Sarah must put on her thinking cap and figure it out before her friends gets sent down river.
Another fun, witty and charming cozy mystery. I love the way, from beginning to end, the story plays out. Great writing, characters and backdrop. Not to mention the adorable sidekicks RahRah & Fluffy who are a cat and dog that actually get along?! All love for that and this series.
I received this ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
