Food blogger Hope Early finds one item not on her scavenger hunt list--a dead husband . . .
Between developing her food blog, Hope at Home, and choosing low-cal recipes for a feature in Cooking Now! magazine, Hope has a full plate. Still, she's never too busy to compete in a Jefferson, Connecticut, tradition--the town's annual scavenger hunt.
But as she races with her team to check off the next item, Hope discovers a grisly surprise--the body of shady real estate developer Lionel Whitcomb, shot in a parking lot. His wife Elaine, who's also in the hunt, gasps and nearly faints. But two other women on the scene cry out that their husband is dead.
It turns out this louse of a spouse was more than a little lax in legally divorcing his former wives. Did one of them put a bullet in the bigamist? Number one suspect and number three wife Elaine begs Hope to investigate. Now Hope is on a new kind of hunt--for a cold-hearted killer and triple widow-maker . . .
Includes Recipes from Hope's Kitchen!
Three Widows and a Corpse by Debra Sennefelder is the third installment, and I loved it!
Will Meg give in to her curiosity and find the murderer?
What I like about Three Widows and a Corpse:
- Meg Early is back and cooking up wonderful recipes in her kitchen. She is extremely curious. So, remember what you say and do around her.
- The Town Charity Scavenger Hunt started with a bang.
- Drew is charming, funny and knows Meg well enough to be there when she needed him.
- Claire and Hope have an excellent sister relationship. They are supportive and yet still honest with each other. I am delighted that Claire figured out what she needed to do.
- The three widows were kind of funny with their arguing and bickering.
What I dislike:
- The second murder victim, as that was extremely uncalled for as the murderer, should have done better research before killing that witness.
- Ethan wasn’t involved in the story much. Also, I know he is the Police Chief, but cutting Hope out makes her more curious. He needs to find a way to work this out with her.
- Last I didn’t like the killer; no reason is good enough for what was done. Although I didn’t care for this person before they were caught. I see lots of anger management in the future for the culprit.
Five Stars
Three Widows and a Corpse by Debra Sennefelder is getting five stars. It is a fun, witty read with great characters and outstanding food. Ms. Sennefelder also gives us a look into everything that a food blogger does to make money. Oh, and don’t forget the brilliant recipes in the back of the book. So, if you like cozy culinary mysteries, then I recommend you read this series.
The recipes are Frosted Brownies, Double Chocolate and Walnut Muffins, Artichoke and Spinach Pasta Bake, Basic Frittata, Flourless Chocolate Cake, and Chocolate Walnut Cookies.
