Delicious and Suspicious (Memphis BBQ Mystery, #1)

by Riley Adams

I'm a huge Myrtle Clover fan so I was interested to see that the author writes/wrote under the pen name Riley Adams and had published the Memphis BBQ Mysteries.

This was an enjoyable cozy mystery series set around a family owned BBQ restaurant. The owner is Lulu Taylor - an eccentric grandmotherly busy body who finds herself embroiled in the investigation when a cooking show scout ends up dead after eating at her restaurant. My favourite character was Derrick. And I enjoyed the Graces too. (They're massive Elvis fans who met at Graceland when they were all going individually every day and were then offered to be volunteer guides.) The mystery itself was interesting enough even if not too surprising. I liked the different viewpoints although it was confusing at first because there are quite a few characters and I couldn't keep them all straight.

Overall enjoyable cozy mystery. 3 stars.
