The Agatha Award�winning author of Pressing the Issue returns to the Cookbook Nook, where Jenna Hart is busy decking the halls and ducking a killer . . . The holidays are Jenna Hart�s favorite time of year, but just as she�s decorating the Cookbook Nook for all the festive events, her imperious older sister makes a surprise visit, anxious that her husband�s been more naughty than nice. To make matters worse, her father�s good friend Jake shows up on her doorstep with a frantic report that his friend has been murdered�trussed with Christmas lights and impaled with a tree star. Worried that Jake was the intended victim, Jenna makes a list of suspects and checks it twice. Swapping her Santa�s hat for a sleuthing cap, she gets busy investigating Jake�s long-lost sister, his Grinch of a neighbor, and a stamp collector who covets Jake�s most treasured piece. When Jake himself is poisoned and nearly dies, Jenna knows she�ll have to do whatever it takes to corner the culprit before it�s lights out for Jake . . . Includes tantalizing holiday recipes! Praise for Daryl Wood Gerber and the Cookbook Nook Mysteries: �There�s a feisty new amateur sleuth in town and her name is Jenna Hart. With a bodacious cast of characters, a wrenching murder, and a collection of cookbooks to die for, Daryl Wood Gerber�s Final Sentenceis a page-turning puzzler of a mystery that I could not put down.� �Jenn McKinlay, New York Timesbestselling author of the Cupcake Mysteries and Library Lovers Mysteries �In Final Sentence, the author smartly blends crime, recipes, and an array of cookbooks that all should covet in a witty, well-plotted whodunit.� �Kate Carlisle, New York Timesbestselling author of the Bibliophile Mysteries �Readers will relish the extensive cookbook suggestions, the cooking primer, and the whole foodie phenomenon. Gerber�s perky tone with a multigenerational cast makes this series a good match for Lorna Barrett�s Booktown Mystery series . . .� �Library Journal �So pull out your cowboy boots and settle in for a delightful read. Grilling the Subject is a delicious new mystery that will leave you hungry for more.� �Carstairs Considers Blog
