Tish Tarragon is catering for Hobson Glen's annual Turkey Trot, and soon finds herself embroiled in a deadly race to the finish line . . .
Literary caterer Tish Tarragon is looking forward to opening the new Cookin' the Books café the day after Thanksgiving, but before then she has the small matter of catering for the Thirty-First Annual Colonial Springs Turkey Trot, a highlight in the Hobson Glen calendar.
With her food stall ready to go, Tish, the spectators and participating 'trotters' are eagerly awaiting the starter's pistol when they are confronted with the sound of rifle shots from the woods. Deputy Mayor Behrens is dead. But was he really the intended target, or could it have been Tish's ex, Mayor Schuyler Thompson? As Tish and Reade investigate, it seems there are no shortage of residents with an axe to grind against the town council their controversial policies. Can Tish finish first in her race against the killer?
I really enjoyed this read, I was not aware that it was book number seven in the series!! Did it matter that I hadn't read the others? No, I don't feel that reading this as the first book made a difference.
I loved the fact that Tish has a lot of great characters around her, they are definitely a quirky bunch that also have a lot of drama with them too!! It's great to have lots of different things to read about in-between the main storyline.
As for our murder - I loved this part of the storyline, the fact that there was so many people that hated our victim made it difficult to try to guess whodunnit so soon which was something that I really enjoyed as it kept the suspense going.
I loved the writing style and felt that I could just easily flow through the book. I may need to go and catch up on the previous six books too!
