Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: Cinco De Murder by Rebecca Adler
Blurb: It's fiesta time in Broken Boot, Texas, and tourists are pouring into town faster than free beer at a bull roping for the mouthwatering Cinco de Mayo festivities. Tex-Mex waitress Josie Callahan, her feisty abuela, and even her spunky Chihuahua Lenny are polishing their folklorico dances for Saturday's big parade, while Uncle Eddie is adding his own spicy event to the fiesta menu: Broken Boot's First Annual Charity Chili Cook-off.
But Uncle Eddie's hopes of impressing the town council go up in smoke when cantankerous chili cook Lucky Straw is found dead in his tent. And when Josie's beloved uncle is accused of fatal negligence, she, Lenny, and the steadfast Detective Lightfoot must uncover who ended the ambitious chilihead's life--before another cook kicks the bucket.
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: I have several books in this series and have read none of them. This title caught my attention because I love the pun and because Cinco De Mayo is coming up.
I like that cover, and the punny title. Seems worth a read. :)
ReplyDeleteCozy mysteries have the best pun titles. :) It looks like a fun and festive one for the holiday. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun setting for this series. I might just check it out!
ReplyDeleteI have some books in this series, too. I haven't read any yet either. It really does sound like a good series, though.
ReplyDeleteOh, this one sounds like a lot of fun! It does seem like the right time to give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteThis has made me hungry for the Tex Mex food in our local Morrisons...and I can't get out to grab any!
ReplyDeleteA cosy at this time of stay at home can't be a bad choice.
ReplyDeleteI love that title too. :-) I hope you love this one when you read it, Katherine. Have a good weekend and stay safe and well.
