Synopsis:
In the latest Southern cozy from the author of The Calamity Cafe, small town chef Amy Flowers can't take her freedom for granted when she's served up as a murder suspect...
It's Independence Day in Winter Garden, Virginia, and the residents are gearing up for their annual celebration. The Down South Cafe is open and flourishing, and Amy Flowers is busy making pies and cakes for the holiday. The only thorn in her side is Chamber of Commerce director George Lincoln, who is trying to buy the cafe so he can tear it down and build a B&B on the site.
When George collapses while eating at the Down South, everybody assumes it's a heart attack-- until the autopsy declares it to be poisoning. Now, it's up to Amy to prove her innocence before her liberty is lost.
Includes delicious Southern recipes!
My Review:
4 out of 5 stars
★★★★☆
| Silence of the Jams is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. I didn't feel like I was missing any information by not reading the previous book in this series. There are a lot of really likable characters in this book. I loved the close-knit family relationship between Amy, her mom, her cousin, and her Aunt Bess. I'm interested in reading the next book in this series to see if there is an update on Jackie's mother. There were a couple instances where I felt like there was a little too much information, but it wasn't enough to make me bored or lose interest in the story. There were several suspects in regards to the murder. The murderer reveal totally took me by surprise since it wasn't someone that was very high up on my suspect list. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely read more books by this author in the future. |
