Murder for Good Measure | Devon Delaney
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The luck of the Irish runs out when a young nanny from Dublin is killed in the new Cook-Off Mystery . . . Not long after her family’s store suffers serious damage in a punishing nor’easter, things go from bad to worse for Sherry Oliveri when her new neighbors’ nanny is killed. It soon comes to light that the sous chef for her brother’s food truck was with the young woman the night she was murdered, and the police have him squarely in their crosshairs as the main suspect. With the store closed for repairs, Sherry puts her extra free time to work trying to clear his name. Juggling impromptu cook-offs and her investigation, Sherry learns that before the nanny was murdered, she was an endless source of old Irish folktales and superstitions, most of them forecasting gloom and doom for any who didn’t heed their warnings. Wondering if the young woman foresaw her own demise, Sherry starts looking for hints she might have left behind—and discovers an enigmatic clue in her own store’s attic. Deciphering the note and unraveling the case will take Sherry on a trip through Irish mythology that leads right back to her family store’s very doorstep . . . Includes recipes from Sherry’s kitchen! Praise for the Cook-Off Mysteries: “The Cook-Off Mystery series by Devon Delaney is a very tasty treat!” —Cozy Mystery Book Reviews “This is a very fun and rollicking mystery that stays light-hearted even as the case gets more complicated . . . Cooking, holiday celebrations, and moving family drama all make for the perfect escape.” —Kings River Life

Mehso-so

In between competing in multiple cook off competitions & dealing with flood damage to her family‘s store, Sherry still has the time to investigate when her neighbors‘ nanny is murdered, & her brother‘s employee is the main suspect.

A fun, twisty mystery with lots of delightful food descriptions. And I loved the Irish folklore & tradition that was sprinkled in.

But all the dialogue felt very stilted with no differences in tone/style. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
