Title: One Taste Too Many (A Sarah Blair Mystery Book 1) Pdf
Married at eighteen, divorced at twenty‑eight, Sarah Blair reluctantly swaps her luxury lifestyle for a cramped studio apartment and a law firm receptionist job in the tired hometown she never left. With nothing much to show for the last decade but her feisty Siamese cat, RahRah, and some clumsy domestic skills, she’s the polar opposite of her bubbly twin, Emily—an ambitious chef determined to take her culinary ambitions to the top at a local gourmet restaurant . . .
Sarah knew starting over would be messy. But things fall apart completely when her ex drops dead, seemingly poisoned by Emily’s award-winning rhubarb crisp. Now, with RahRah wanted by the woman who broke up her marriage and Emily wanted by the police for murder, Sarah needs to figure out the right recipe to crack the case before time runs out. Unfortunately, for a gal whose idea of good china is floral paper plates, catching the real killer and living to tell about it could mean facing a fate worse than death—being in the kitchen!
Includes quick and easy recipes!
Fun start to a new series This is the first installment in the Sarah Blair series. She is working at a law office and living with her beloved Siamese cat, RahRah. When Sarah's twin sister Emily returns home, Emily takes a chef's job and is immediately suspected of killing her former brother-in-law, Sarah's ex-husband Bill. Emily and her co-workers are in a food competition at the exposition center. Just as Sarah's boss is working to get Emily cleared of Bill's suspicious death, Emily finds herself at the center of a homicide. Meanwhile, Bill's new will brings more problems for Sarah as his new girlfriend supposedly has a legal claim to RahRah. Who can she trust? Will trusting the wrong person leave her the killer's next victim?The setting was a fresh twist on the usual restaurant setting for a food cozy. The book was well-written and the plot had surprising twists, especially towards the very end. The pacing was a bit off for me about a third of the way through but I am glad I continued on because it picked back up nicely. I usually have some idea of the killer's identity but this one was a huge surprise. I really loved RahRah; the cat had such a presence throughout the book. I could also empathize with Sarah's heartbreak at the possibility of having to lose him due to legal wrangling; I went over six months without seeing my now deceased cats while my ex-husband stalled in court and kept "the boys" from me. I look forward to seeing where this series goes in the next installment.Thanks to the author and the Cozy Mystery Review Crew for a complimentary copy of this book. My review is voluntary.A Delicious Puzzle of a Mystery Sarah Blair signs on to help her sister Emily, an ambitious chef, at a trade show featuring food booths and cooking demonstrations. The competition heats up when Sarah’s ex-spouse drops dead after eating a spoonful of her sister’s signature rhubarb crisp. Other evidence seemingly points Emily’s way, and when she’s arrested for murder, Sarah goes into full sleuth mode to find the real killer. A restaurant’s reputation is at stake, and so is her sister’s life. Sarah can’t trust anyone on their team and least of all, her own cooking skills. Can she muddle along well enough to catch the murderer before she ends up next on his lethal menu? A shifty group of suspects in a fun food expo setting will keep readers guessing. With all the twists and turns, I didn’t foresee the surprise at the end. Clever, witty, and delicious!Murder at a food exposition How do you feel about rhubarb? Sarah Blair's ex hated it and yet he was found dead with rhubarb on the fork in his hand. That's the start to a twist on culinary mysteries, one that involves a food exposition, an upscale restaurant, urban development, one special cat, and a heroine who is a disaster in the kitchen. Sarah's twin, Emily, however is a trained chef, magic in the kitchen, and when she's accused of murder, Sarah is so anxious to defend her that she even gives a cooking demonstration. Jell-O and pineapple, anyone? Deaths and near-misses continue and red herrings abound. You'll never suspect who the villain is until the last-minute revelation. Well done, fun to read.
