A Cookbook Nook Mystery
BY DARYL WOOD GERBER
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Agatha Award-winning author of Stirring the
Plot returns to the Cookbook Nook in Crystal Cove,
California, where February brings Pirate Week, National
Chocolate Month—and bitter murder…
Pirate Week is sweeping through Crystal Cove and keeping Jenna Hart and her bookstore, the Cookbook Nook, plenty busy. But she’s not too swamped to also host the local Chocolate Cookbook Club’s meeting—especially because the guest of honor is her friend, candy maker and cookbook author Coco Chastain.
Jenna whips up a delicious event amidst the rowdy festivities, but the mood is soon broken by robberies, simmering tempers, and a dead body—Coco’s editor, Alison. The suspects turn out to be more plentiful than a pot full of gold doubloons, so to prove Coco isn’t responsible for the dastardly deed, Jenna will have to stir up some clues and figure out who’s the real sticky-fingered killer…

On her website, there is a section for recipes, so being a diabetic, I went directly to the salad section. She has some great salads there like Artichoke and Blue and Fall Pumpkin Salad.

Crystal Cove sounds like a place I'd like to visit. Maybe not during pirate week but any other time. And, it's always fun to find new recipes in her books. I'd like to see how she solves this latest murder.

She has the Mystery Lover’s Kitchen Recipes List and links to the recipes. That's so cool.
