A Frying Shame - Spotlight

Today I'm shining a spotlight on a book on my TBR pile. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, but have yet to continue it...though I own the other books. Too many books too little time. So I'm shining a spotlight on A FRYING SHAME by Linda Reilly. This book is the third book in the Deep Fried Mystery series and was released April 4, 2017.

From the back cover:

Fry another day.

The town of Wrensdale is abuzz with excitement when Steeltop Foods sponsors a cooking contest to promote its new product, the Flavor Dial. With a $25,000 prize at stake, all the contestants are on edge, including Talia Marby, owner of Fry Me a Sliver. She hopes her mini deep-fried apples will win her the money to pay off the renovations on her restaurant. But when Norma Ferguson wins with her flaky-top chicken stew, the tensions dial up even more.

After Norma is found dead at her cooking station, teh police suspect a losing contestant got a little hot under the collar. Now it's crunch time as Talia works to catch the killer and clear her name before another cook gets burned.

Recipes included.

I'm currently reading Fillet of Murder by Linda Reilly. This book is the first in the Deep Fried Mystery series and was just released last month.

Talia Marby has left a job she hated and a fiance who didn't support her. Now she's back in her hometown, living in her recently departed grandmother's house and helping at her surrogate mother's fish and chip shop while she decides what to do with her life. Lambert's Fish & Chips is located in a charming English styled shopping plaza. Unfortunately, some of the other shop owners aren't as charming. The nasty Phil Turnbull has been harassing other owners to sign his petition to boycott a comic book shop. Determined to stop the man from bullying Bea Lambert, Talia goes to confront him in his shop...only to find his dead body!
