Killer Comfort Food

The Blurb
A soybean processing plant is trying to buy up the land around the small farm Angie’s beloved Nona left her. If Angie doesn’t sell, she’ll be surrounded by the plant and the congestion that comes with it. On the other hand, it’s Nona’s farmhouse. What is Angie supposed to do without it? Move into a condo in town with Precious, Mabel, and Dom, respectively, a goat, chicken, and dog. Worse, a troubling rumor is circulating about the lawyer who’s heading up the development: His socialite wife seems to be missing. When Barb, owner of the local bar, asks Angie to look into the woman’s disappearance, she’s hesitant, until Barb reveals her surprising connection. Now it’s up to Angie to find the woman, uncover a nefarious plot, and hang onto her home before she becomes a criminal’s final course.

The Review
Killer Comfort Food is the fifth book in the tasty culinary cozy series “A Farm-to-Fork Mystery”. It is also one of the best in the series as well. Lynn Cahoon knows her subject matter and brings her characters and settings to life. Readers adore Angie, the farmhouse Nona left her, and the small-town setting.

A killer is running around the countryside, and people are going missing. When a business owner and friend asks Angie to help find a missing woman, she is hesitant to get involved, but when she learns the woman’s identity, she jumps in to help. Her restaurant takes a back seat in this culinary thriller, but the food readers have come to crave is still a part of the overall scheme and gives readers a tasty reminder of good wholesome food and a caring community.

Suspects are plentiful, but not overly so, motives are a bit thin, but it only takes one to get to the meat of a murder. Characters, in general, are caring, loveable, and happy to help find a murderer. It doesn’t take Angie long to find the culprit, but she comes close to getting head served to her on a platter. Killer Comfort Food is a culinary pleasure that readers will enjoy. It also leaves you wanting more of everything, especially a tasty treat from Angie’s restaurant and time spent with characters that will keep you coming back for more.
