Butter off Dead

Food Lovers' Village Mystery Series, Book 3

By: Leslie Budewitz

Narrated by: Rebecca Mitchell

In an attempt to woo tourists to Jewel Bay and cheer up the townies, Erin Murphy, manager of the specialty local foods market known as the Merc, is organizing the First Annual Food Lovers' Film Festival, filled with classic foodie flicks and local twists on favorite movie treats. But when her partner in planning, painter Christine Vandeberg, is found dead only days before the curtain rises, Erin suspects someone is attempting to stop the films from rolling. To make matters worse, Nick - Erin's brother and Christine's beau - has top billing on the suspect list. Convinced her brother is innocent and determined that the show must go on, Erin has to find who's really to blame before Nick gets arrested or the festival gets shut down. But the closer she gets to the killer, the more likely it becomes that she'll be the next person cut from the program.

Another Good One

This is a really good series. The characters and plot are well developed and interesting. The mystery is fast paved with lots of twist and turns to keep the reader interested. I look forward to the next book.

IRISH ITALIAN ENTREPRENEUR ERIN MURPHY IS BACK

I AM NEW TO THIS SERIES, AND IN THE PROCESS OF BINGE LISTENING TO THEM. BOOK 1 WAS OKAY. BOOK 2 IMPROVED, AND THE SERIES FINALLY HIT ITS STRIDE WITH THIS BOOK. BUT DON'T TAKE A SHORTCUT. READ/LISTEN TO THE BOOKS IN ORDER. OTHERWISE, YOU MISS THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THAT IS CRITICAL. I HOPE THE NEXT BOOK SEES MORE DEVELOPMENT OF ADAM AND THE RELATIONSHIP.

Plot

I have enjoyed this series. If you like details and back stories of all the characters you will enjoy this book. Highly recommend the series.
