Murder in the Cookbook Nook

Book Retreat Mystery Series, Book 7

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....

Series of 7 books, so far!

This was a wonderful series of books. Each book continues the original story with more excitement. It’s entertaining, witty, mysterious, and romantic. I have read every book now & may read them again to pick up on all the dialogue I might have missed the first time around.

Another wonderful story

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series. Ellery Adams has established herself as one of my favorite authors. I have read/listened to three other series by her. this book was enhanced for me by a "guest appearance" of Olivia Limoges and Captain Haviland from the Books by the Bay series. I believe it's time to revisit that series and dip into a new one.

Love the series

I can’t wait until the next book comes out.
I love the relationship of Hem and Fritz have with their mother

Another Killer Story

I’m a huge fan of this series. Ellery Adams has created likable and quirky characters, set in a dreamy book retreat. I love all the literary references, the mysteries, and the various groups that visit the resort. Hosting a cooking show is a terrific choice for this next installment. Murderously delicious.

Great

Best one yet! Can’t wait for the next one. This series just keeps getting better and better.
