Murder in the Cookbook Nook

Written by Ellery Adams

Narrated by Johanna Parker

Virginia is for lovers-and Storyton Hall is its best vacation spot for lovers of books. The big event this summer at Jane Steward's resort is A Bookish Cook-Off. It's a blend of the literary and the culinary-but someone's headed for the mortuary . . .

Six chefs are preparing to compete in an outdoor tent at Storyton Hall for prizes that will boost their careers-but is there someone who can't stand the heat? It looks that way when one of the contestants is found dead in a pantry packed with two centuries' worth of cookbooks, among other treasures and rarities.

Could there be a connection to other recent events in town, like tampering with the costume of a local mascot? Jane isn't sure, but after someone serves a second course of murder, the kitchen must be closed and the killer must be found . . .

Reviews for Murder in the Cookbook Nook

[EimsDT · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I think this might be one of my favorites. It was so exciting and I liked the twists. I like cooking shows, so reading this book was like being backstage. I think the books are getting better because they were getting a bit repetitive and the last two have been different. However, I wish there was more variety in the plots, not just murder, because it's gotten and bit unrealistic for there to always be a murder - or two - around Storyton Hall. Different mysteries would be fun!
