DEATH OF A BACON HEIRESS
Book 7 in the Hayley Powell Food & Cocktail Mysteries
by Lee Hollis
For food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell, becoming a local culinary celebrity opens lots of doors. Unfortunately, one leads straight to cold-blooded murder…
When Hayley is invited to do a cooking demo on one of daytime's most popular talk shows, it's a welcome distraction from her empty nest blues. And the newfound fame certainly has its perks--especially when Olivia Redmond, the posh bacon heiress of Redmond Meats, offers Hayley a writing gig with a juicy paycheck.
But Hayley's good fortune fizzles fast. The heiress is found dead with her pet pot-bellied pig, Pork Chop, squealing bloody murder beside her body, and clogged arteries aren't to blame. It turns out Olivia's inherited a wealth of enemies over the years, and as Hayley trims the fat off a mounting list of suspects, it's clear that being rich and hot-tempered can be a recipe for disaster…
Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen!

MY REVIEW
Another fabulous installment in a series that has been one
of my favorites since the beginning!
The Hayley Powell Food & Cocktail Mysteries never fail
to make me laugh. The cast of regular characters in this series are absolutely marvelous
to read. They are so varied. Each character adds just the right personality to
this eclectic group. Author Lee Hollis comes up with some of the best one
liners, and hysterical conversations and situations. There is never a dull
moment with any of them.
DEATH OF A BACON HEIRESS not only did justice to the rest of
the series, it elevated it. That’s not something I would have thought possible.
But this was a superb mystery written with a skill that simply amazed me. While
the main mystery in the book was completely absorbing, there were also smaller
storylines mix in that served to make this book even more outstanding.
I would be hard pressed to pick my favorite part of story,
but I will leave you with two words that will always make DEATH OF A BACON
HEIRESS memorable to me…Pork Chop. J
As always, Hollis has included yummy cocktail and food
recipes. You’ll also find an excerpt from the next Hayley Powell mystery, DEATH
OF A PUMPKIN CARVER!
