From the cover of KILLING THYME, Spice Shop Mystery #3 (October 2016):
At Seattle Spice in the Pike Place Market, owner Pepper Reece is savoring her business success, but soon finds her plans disrupted by a killer…
Pepper Reece’s to-do list is longer than the shopping list for a five-course dinner, as she conjures up spice blends bursting with seasonal flavor, soothes nervous brides fretting over the gift registry, and crosses her fingers for a rave review from a sharp-tongued food critic. Add to the mix a welcome visit from her mother, Lena, and she’s got the perfect recipe for a busy summer garnished with a dash of fun.
While browsing in the artists’ stalls, Pepper and Lena drool over stunning pottery made by a Market newcomer. But when Lena recognizes the potter, Bonnie Clay, as an old friend who disappeared years ago, the afternoon turns sour. To Pepper’s surprise, Bonnie seems intimately connected to her family’s past. After Bonnie is murdered only days later, Pepper is determined to uncover the truth.
But as Pepper roots out long-buried secrets, will she be digging her own grave?

I'm starting this series soon! Very excited for winter, it will be my excuse to stay home and read...ha, ha. It's worth a try! I hope you meant Friday, October 28th... konecny7(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteHave yet to read any in this series. Hope to change that soon. The synopsis given are most intriguing. When they said variety is the spice of life I am certain that spice is what they wee talking about. Have a pot roast recipe that calls for allspice, orange peel, and bay leaf that is out of this world. Yummm. Della at deepotter at peoplepc dot com
ReplyDeleteDella, what an interesting flavor combo for pot roast -- not your usual bay leaf and thyme. Thanks for sharing!
