"A charming cozy with plenty of suspects for the romantically inclined sleuths to winnow out'" Kirkus Reviews Starred Review
Tish Tarragon is catering for a wedding, but the weekend goes from sweet to sour when a guest at the venue is poisoned.
Literary caterer and owner of Cookin' the Books caf� Tish Tarragon is pushing thoughts of her impending eviction aside to prepare an appetising welcome buffet for a wedding weekend at Abbingdon Green Bed and Breakfast. While there, Tish witnesses one of the guests, controversial TV chef and restaurant critic, Gunner Randall, threatening staff after missing breakfast and making do with a mushroom omelet.
When Randall is found dead the following day, it soon becomes clear that poisoned mushrooms were behind his demise. With no shortage of potential suspects and motives, can Tish and her new beau, Sheriff Clemson Reade, uncover who was enraged enough with the unsavoury star to silence him for good?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Meade's delightful sixth Tish Tarragon mystery (after 2021's Ladle to the Grave) opens with Tish, owner of the Cookin' the Books literary café in Hobson Glenn, Va., about to be evicted from her premises by her landlord and former boyfriend, Schuyler Thompson. Her last catering job until a new, affordable location can be found is a book-themed wedding weekend at Abbingdon Green Bed and Breakfast. Unfortunately for all concerned, overbearing celebrity chef Gunnar Randall, host of Taste of America, one of the most popular shows ever to air on the Food Channel, is also staying at the B&B. Worse still, he is producing an episode of his show, which means no one is safe from his scathing criticism. When he's poisoned, there's no dearth of likely suspects. Tish, an official consultant for the local sheriff's department, works hand in hand with Sheriff Clemson Reade to resolve the mystery. Surrounded by a lively cast of friends and possible foes, Tish is the ideal cozy heroine—clever and sensible, with just the right amount of daring. Fans will appreciate the new developments in her life.
