Lucy Berberian is busy preparing her family's Mediterranean restaurant for Easter on the Jersey Shore--but a batch of sweets is to die for . . . Bikers are thundering into the seaside town of Ocean Crest for the annual Bikers on the Beach gathering that raises funds for injured veterans. It's a big boost for the Kebab Kitchen, as well as for local businesses like Melanie Haven's candy shop. But Melanie is about to find herself in a sticky situation.
When Melanie and Lucy attend a beach bonfire, a local landlord is found dead after apparently choking on a piece of salt water taffy. Melanie, who was known to have a contentious relationship with the victim, is quickly skewered as the prime suspect. But Lucy is determined to prove her friend's innocence before the real killer coasts free . . .
Recipes included!

On the Lamb by Tina Kashian is an aloof cozy mystery. I was wrong on every account of who dun it.

Who killed Gilbert, and why?

Lucy Berberian

Lucy is our main character and one of our sleuths. The other is her best friend, Katie, who has a husband on the police force and shouldn’t be investigating these crimes. Lucy and Katie are known around town as the two people to go to if you need help clearing your names. Well, mostly just Lucy, as Katie can’t get too involved. Lucy is a fabulous character that I enjoyed learning about in One Feta in the Grave, and now this one.

The Mystery

The big mystery is who killed Gilbert and why? Gilbert was a local landlord who no one knew had a difficult life. That’s the thing about when you die a mysterious death; all your secrets come out to haunt you. Gilbert had that happen to him, and it was so hard to figure out who killed him. Especially figuring out who has the best motive. I fell for a lot of the red herrings, and I was a bit shocked when it was revealed who actually did it.

Five Stars for On the Lamb by Tina Kashin

Ms. Kashin did a fantastic job of stumping me that I just had to give this book five stars. I loved every minute of reading this book. I can’t wait for the next one to see what happens to Lucy. Coming back to this small beach town is spectacular, and I love seeing new sides of these marvelous characters in each one as well. I am so recommending this to anyone that reads cozy mysteries. Don’t forget your snack when reading; otherwise, your tummy may be grumbling.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out the recipes in the back of the book! They are called Lucy’s Mediterranean Couscous Salad, Angela’s Lamb Kebabs with Tomato Sauce, and Azad’s Armenian Sweet Bread (Choereg).
