Cozy Food Friday!
That means it's time to share a recipe from
another great cozy mystery!
This week's recipe is from
ON THE LAMB
Book 4 in the Kebab Kitchen Mysteries
by Tina Kashian
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 . . .

ReplyDeleteBoth ON THE LAMB and the recipe sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy first line -
Officer Kaylin Poirer’s stomach lurched at the sight of the two people inside a white florist van that pulled up to her booth at the Windsor-Detroit border. The driver wouldn’t meet her gaze and his passenger couldn’t sit still.
My 56 –
The bomb squad had cleared their station, proving Hudson’s theory that the fake threat was only a ruse to get them to exit the building and expose the driver and dealer to assassins.
