Gloria's Reviews > Simmering with Resentment

I always look forward to reading a new book in the Cookbook Nook series and this new one is an action packed and suspenseful addition. Wedding bells are in the air in Crystal Cove, California with Jenna and Rhett's wedding coming up in a few weeks but, there is also a bridal expo going on. When Jenna and Rhett almost died in an explosion at Rhett's restaurant, she is sure that a woman who set fire to Rhett's old restaurant is responsible. Afterall, she is out of prison since she saw Sarita at the expo. But then the sailboat Sarita is staying on blows up a day or so later. Well, now she has to find out who would want them all dead. Jenna cannot resist investigating even though her friend and police chief, Cinnamon, tries to stop her. A lot of people had a motive to dislike Sarita, but Jenna and Rhett? This is another fun mystery to unravel as Jenna goes through the pool of suspects, putting herself in the eyes of a killer. Festivals also mean fun events, like food demonstrations at the Cookbook Nook Bookstore and Cafe. Lots of recipes are included. Recommended for cozy mystery and foodie lovers.
