I'm so happy to be hosting this giveaway for
a copy of
LADLE TO THE GRAVE
Book 4 in the Soup Lover's Mystery series
by one of my favorite authors
Connie Archer!
By the Spoonful is Snowflake, Vermont’s most popular soup shop, but owner Lucky Jamieson doesn’t have any time to enjoy her success—she’s too busy trying to keep a lid on false accusations against her loved ones…
It’s almost May, and some of the local ladies have organized a pagan celebration in the woods to welcome spring. But the evening goes terribly wrong when one of the attendees winds up dead, apparently poisoned by an herbal concoction prepared by Lucky’s grandfather, Jack.
Lucky’s sure her grandfather could not have made such a tragic mistake. But before she can clear him of suspicion, her best friend, Sophie, is diverted from planning her wedding to By the Spoonful chef Sage DuBois when she finds a dead man floating in the creek on her property. Now it’s up to Lucky to get both Sophie and Jack out of hot water before a killer stirs up more trouble…
Recipes included!

MY REVIEW
Connie Archer’s Soup Lovers Mystery series is one of my
favorites. I always look forward to a new book in this series and couldn’t wait
to get my hands on LADLE TO THE GRAVE. I was not disappointed.
The story wasted no time getting started, with the victim
dying within the first few pages. Naturally, I figured the rest of the book
would be devoted to finding out what happened, and it was. But that death in
the beginning was just the start to an amazing, head spinning ride.
Lucky, her grandfather Jack, and the Spoonful had so much
going on in this book! Jack is a possible suspect in the death, though not by
something he did intentionally, Sophia and Sage have their wedding coming up, Lucky
is trying to help Jack, and Sophia and Sage and finds herself in yet another
mysterious situation! I don’t know how author Connie Archer kept everything
straight!
I was so proud of myself for guessing “whodunit”. But in the
middle of patting myself on the back as I read, I found I was dead wrong.
Have tissues ready around page 146 with issues dealing with
Lucky’s grandfather Jack. Jack is my favorite character in this series, and I
have to tell you, my heart was breaking! I am not ashamed to admit that I cried
like a baby!
LADLE TO THE GRAVE was just as wonderful as the first three
books in this series. No, wait. Scratch that. LADLE TO THE GRAVE was even MORE wonderful
than the first three titles. And I look
forward to many more installments to come.
As if the wonderful story telling isn’t enough, Mr. Archer
also includes yummy recipes!
If you already love this
series, you’re not going to be disappointed. If you haven’t read this series,
please do! You will fall in love with the characters, the location, and with
author Connie Archer herself!
LADLE TO THE GRAVE
