Body and Soul Food
Body and Soul Food | Abby Collette
11 posts | 9 read | 6 to read
In this page-turning new mystery series, fraternal twins Keaton and Koby will pull double duty when they take down a killer while preparing to open their new bookstore and soul-food caf, Books & Biscuits. When Koby Hill and Keaton Rutledge were orphaned at age two, they were separated, but their unbreakable connection lingered. Year later, they reunite and decide to make up for lost time and capitalize on their shared interests by opening up a well-stocked bookstore and cozy soul-food caf in the quaint Pacific Northwest town of Timber Lake. But this new chapter of their lives could end on a cliffhanger after Koby's foster brother is found murdered. The murder, which occurred in public between light-rail stops, seems impossible for the police to solve. But as Keaton and Koby know, two heads are always better than one, especially when it comes to mysteries. With just a week to go before the grand opening of their new caf, the twins will use their revitalized connection with each other to make sure this is the killer's final page.

I think I maybe loved this because Keaton and Koby are living my dream life owning a Bookstore Cafe in a town outside of Seattle. It was nice cozy mystery and I look forward to reading the next in the series. ❤️ #scarathlon2022 #TeamSlaughter @clwojick #spookween @thespineview #31by31 @catsandbooks #OutstandingOctober @andrew65

I really enjoyed Collettes Ice cream parlor mystery series, but this one just isn‘t doing it for me. DNF @ 25%

JamieArc I didn‘t love this one either, sadly. 2y

I'm home with a headache today, but it's hard to feel bad with a cozy and a doggie at my feet.

This is my night book. So far it‘s a lot of fun. A former librarian and her twin brother are opening a bookstore/cafe when a friend is murdered. Of course they must investigate.

JamieArc This is my current audiobook. Enjoying it as well. 2y
KathyWheeler @JamieArc I did notice that the narrator pronounces Hercule Poirot‘s last name wrong, but I can understand that. 😊 2y
JamieArc So you are listening to the audiobook too? I‘ve noticed a few strange pronunciations but that‘s fine with me. What made me really laugh was the voice for one of the side characters, an older man who owns a bakery or restaurant - he almost sounded like Kermit the frog! 2y
KathyWheeler @JamieArc The voice for him made me laugh too. 😄 2y

Collette has another winning cozy mystery series with this first in the Books & Biscuits mystery series. Twins Keaton and Koby reunite after a lifetime apart and open up a soul food restaurant and bookstore. But, their opening is shadowed by a friend‘s death. There are parts of this one that didn‘t quite connect, but I loved the book references and the perseverance of the characters. There are recipes in the back too!

Liatrek Can‘t wait to read this one. 2y

Good news: I really like BODY AND SOUL FOOD so far! I think I prefer Abby Collette when she focuses on the community side of her cozy mysteries, and she does a lot of that here. I‘ve enjoyed meeting Keaton and Koby‘s extended family and friend group.

Time for a new book! BODY AND SOUL FOOD is my Abby Collette tiebreaker. Will I enjoy it as much as A DEADLY INSIDE SCOOP, or will I find it choppy and random like A GAME OF CONES? Stay tuned to find out!

I WILL say it‘s off to a promising start, and I love the setup. It follows twins, separated in infancy and recently reunited, who open a café bookstore together.

So it was a bit bumpy in places, but they talked about food and books so I‘m giving it a pick. Reunited twins decide to go into business together and open a bookstore & attached soul food restaurant. Meanwhile, a close friend dies under mysterious circumstances and the twins find themselves on the suspect list. It‘ll be interesting to see how the series matures. Certainly has lots of potential and it‘s a diverse entry in the cozy genre.

Sounds good.
