What Is not to love about this series? You have wonderful food, mystery, and a little romance. I'd say that is a win in my book. All of these books are well written, fast paced, fun reads. I love where the author is going with the characters.
Moira has found a new employee, Meg who seems to be fitting in at the deli, fingers crossed! With the new hours and Candice going out on her own soon Moira is going to have to start looking for even more help. The relationship between she and David is moving slow but I love the old fashioned charm. She notices David in a sad mood when he comes to visit at the deli. He has just found out that his long time friend, Henry has been found dead in Lake Marion. David is not convinced it was an accidental drowning like the coroner is saying. It just doesn't make sense because he took every precaution and could swim like a fish. Moira is willing to help David out and ask some questions especially since Candice is living upstairs from the toy store Henry owned. His granddaughter has been acting suspicious for weeks and Moira wants to make sure Candice is ok. What has Moira gotten herself into??? Will she and David be able to solve this case before someone else swims with the fish? ( )

Ok I am trying out where to start....Ok I will start off with the food. YUMMY everything described in the book sounded amazing and I am really hoping someone can come up with a recipe book for these stories. The seem so simple to make when you hear and/or read about it but I have no idea how to make soup haha.

Ok let's get into the story. I was upset to find out that Henry. It almost reminded me about any suspenseful movie or tv show you watch. You know that they are most likely not around anymore but you are holding out hope for a happy ending. But the fact that Alice was acting so shady towards Candice and Moira, I just couldn't figure out why she was lying. I would've gone to the police but you just never know what people are thinking when they are backed against the wall.

I think the part that upset me the most was what happened to Moira and Maverick. I felt her pain when she got the phone call from the police. I think what lead me to fall in love with Moira more and more was when she was talking to Detective Jefferson and he was explaining how his week was going, her mind wondered. She stopped thinking about herself and started back on the case. She went with her gut and she once again solved the crime, she put her families safety first. I would prefer that she keeps her property and rebuilds her house on that same plot. I mean she has lived there since her daughter was young and it has so many memories for her. I can't wait to see what Book & has in-store. ( )
