Welcome to Leaven—oh wait—Santo Domingo, where DEATH takes a DELICIOUS turn!

Family bombshells, sibling rivalries, blackmail, and a trip that could be deadly...and the new year has only just begun! After a disastrous Thanksgiving, Jolie Tucker is beside herself and feeling the walls closing in around her. She feels like she needs to escape Leavensport before she loses her mind. She unexpectedly gets her wish when her best friend and co-owner of Cast Iron Creations, Ava Martinez, gets a terrifying email revealing that her papa, Thiago, is in danger in Santo Domingo. The girls are off on a dangerous adventure in new territory. Will they be able to save the day before danger finds them?

Blueberry Cobbler Blackmail by Jodi Rath is taking the girls to Santo Domingo, where Ava’s family originated.

Who is blackmailing the Martinez family?

Jolie Tucker

Jolie Tucker finds herself in Santo Domingo for two weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day because of a family issue for Ava. She has done a lot of self-reflecting while taking a stand for herself in some parts of her life. Will it helps her? Who knows?

The Mystery

The mystery is basically my question up above. Who is blackmailing the Martinez family? There is a lot of circling around and not figuring out a whole lot of things fast because of how invested Jolie and Ava are in this case. Ava, especially since it is her family. We learn a lot about Ava’s family and how things are done in the Dominican Republic. These two ladies find clues, but they have a hard time putting them together. Granted, I didn’t figure out who the blackmailer was until right before Jolie.

Four Stars

Ms. Rath did a fantastic job of researching all of these things. From the things happening in Santo Domingo to the recipes to the research of a dance called merengue. Researching that dance must have been so much fun, especially trying it out. I am giving Blueberry Cobbler Blackmail by Jodi Rath four stars, and I will be recommending it to any cozy mystery reader out there.

Don’t forget to check out the recipes in the back. The recipes are Blueberry Cobbler, Sancocho Dominican Style Coup, La Bandera “The Flag”, La Bandara, Dominican Beans, and Homemade Bubble Tea. The blueberry cobbler one sounds good, but I’m not so sure about the Bubble Tea.
