Silence of the Jams (Down South Cafe Mystery, #2) (A Down South Café Mystery, #2)

by Gayle Leeson

In the latest Southern cozy from the author of The Calamity Café, small-town chef Amy Flowers can’t take her freedom for granted when she’s served up as a murder suspect... 

It's Independence Day in Winter Garden, Virginia, and the residents are gearing up for their annual celebration. The Down South Café is open and flourishing, and Amy Flowers is busy making pies and cakes for the holiday. The only thorn in her side is Chamber of Commerce director George Lincoln, who is trying to buy the café so he can tear it down and build a B&B on the site.
 
When George collapses while eating at the Down South, everybody assumes it's a heart attack—until the autopsy declares it to be poisoning. Now, it’s up to Amy to prove her innocence before her liberty is lost.

Includes delicious Southern recipes!

[Mystereity Reviews]

I've been listening to this series on audiobook (great for sitting by the pool or on a walk!) and I really like the narrator, she really brings the story alive. Finally, the bullying George Lincoln has been killed - but in Amy's cafe! Who could've done it?

Frankly, I knew who did it as soon as it happened, but not why. So I enjoyed watching (well, listening) to it all unfold. Thomas Lincoln made for a great (kinda) villain and there were a few red herrings sprinkled in there that almost made me question whether I knew whodunit but in the end, I was right. Frankly, the other suspects were...well...suspicious in their own right. I wonder if the killer could get a verdict of justifiable homicide? Frankly, they did the world a favor offing George Lincoln.

Onto the next!
