Killing Thyme
Killing Thyme: Spice Shop Mystery | Leslie Budewitz
5 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
In Seattle s Pike Place Market, Spice Shop owner Pepper Reece is savoring her business success, but soon finds her plans disrupted by a killer in the latest from the national bestselling author of Guilty as Cinnamon. Pepper Reece s to-do list is longer than the shopping list for a five-course dinner, as she conjures up spice blends bursting with seasonal flavor, soothes nervous brides fretting over the gift registry, and crosses her fingers for a rave review from a sharp-tongued food critic. Add to the mix a welcome visit from her mother, Lena, and she s got the perfect recipe for a busy summer garnished with a dash of fun. While browsing in the artists stalls, Pepper and Lena drool over stunning pottery made by a Market newcomer. But when Lena recognizes the potter, Bonnie Clay, as an old friend who disappeared years ago, the afternoon turns sour. To Pepper s surprise, Bonnie seems intimately connected to her family s past. After Bonnie is murdered only days later, Pepper is determined to uncover the truth. But as Pepper roots out long-buried secrets, will she be digging her own grave?"

Finished this one today. This was another great installment in this #series. Also, thank you @robinb for the birthday card! I got it in today‘s mail with several late Christmas cards. It seems the usps is a little behind.

robinb You are very welcome, Amy! I hope your day was extra special! I think I was a little later getting it off than I should have been, so I‘ll take partial blame too. 🙄😉 3y

The best part of this book is the recipe section at the end. There were possibilities here, but the mystery tended to get lost among the complicated relationships of the characters. The story is set around the Pike Place Market in Seattle, so that and the fact that I love herbs and herb gardening is what drew me in. Don‘t think I‘ll read any other books from this series. And on a positive note, my thyme did not die during the summer heat😄

#uncannyOctober #bookanddrink After a morning of cleaning and shoe shopping 😊 followed by lunch at our favorite little Greek place, hubby got the brilliant idea that WE should wash and wax the car. After an hour+ in South Florida heat and humidity, I am ready for some reading time and a bit of my favorite indulgence.

Suet624 I spent hours taking leaves. Then read and napped. Similar, but different. 😁 7y

Sitting in the waiting room at Cleveland Clinic Florida. I needed something light and distracting, because this place is a madhouse. Reading anything that requires real concentration is out of the question!

Lynnsoprano @Mommamanzi Thanks, everything went really well. He had a type of polyp that couldn't be removed during a regular colonoscopy. We had to go to a dr who uses a specialized procedure. 7y

After just finishing the first in the series and having already read the second a few months ago, I figured I may as well read this one too so it could go back to the library. Still a cute series where I like people but the mystery itself is kind of light.
