Book 43 in the Murder She Wrote Mysteries

In the latest mystery in the USA Today bestselling series, there’s a battle brewing between two eateries, and Jessica Fletcher will have to get cooking to find a killer...
A BEEF WITH LEBOEUF
Jessica loves the Fin & Claw restaurant, owned by young Cabot Cove couple Brad and Marcie. The eatery is the couple’s dream come true, but it’s quickly turning into a nightmare.
Famed chef GĂ©rard Leboeuf has decided to open his brand of bistro right next to theirs. Given the competition, the charming chef’s manner soon turns sour. Tensions rise hot and fast until they boil over, leading to a nasty confrontation between Leboeuf and Brad.
So when one chef is found with a knife planted in his chest, the other becomes the prime suspect. But there’s a long list of those who had a motive to kill in this kitchen war, and it’s up to Jessica to uncover who really added murder to the menu.

MY REVIEW
NOTE: This review is from the hardcover edition I reviewed in 2015. I left the review as written then. I have since read other Murder, She Wrote books.
I’ve never read a Murder, She Wrote book and doubt I would
have if I hadn’t been sent this one to review. My reason for not reading one?
When I was a little girl I saw a movie called Bedknobs & Broomsticks with
Angela Lansbury and she scared me to pieces! LOL So, I never watched the Murder,
She Wrote TV show and never read the books. That being said, my apologies to
Angela Lansbury, I’m sure she’s is a wonderful woman, and to Donald Bain, it
was nothing personal to him.
On to my review.
I really liked this book!
KILLER IN THE KITCHEN is #43 in the series, and if the first
42 were anywhere as enjoyable, I have indeed been missing out.
The story was so well written. While reading, I was taken
back to the times I “listened” to my parents watch Murder, She Wrote. Author
Donald Bain does an incredible job of keeping the voice of the show alive.
The mystery was very
compelling. I found myself turning page after page needing to see what would
happen next. The next thing I knew, I was at the end of the book and telling
myself, this may have been my first Murder, She Wrote, but it won’t be my last.

Thanks, Lisa. I loved the Murder, She Wrote show. Try to envision Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts, in Beauty and the Beast. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the show...I really need to read the books!
ReplyDeleteI really like the show, and this week, while I was under the weather, I have been watching reruns of the show. Nice! I really should read some of the books...
