Halia Watkins has her hands full cooking, hosting, and keeping her boisterous young cousin, Wavonne, from getting too sassy with customers. Having fast-talking entrepreneur Marcus Rand turn up in her kitchen is annoying enough when he's alive - but finding his dead body face-down on her ceramic tile after hours is much worse.

Marcus had his enemies, and the cast iron frying pan beside his corpse suggests that at last, his shady business deals went too far. Halia is desperate to keep Sweet Tea's name out of the sordid spotlight but her efforts only make Wavonne a prime suspect.

Now Halia will have to serve up the real villain - before the killer returns for a second helping....

Storyline

This is a cosy mystery with an authentic beating heart, it includes lively characters, delicious soul food, recipes and funny developments. The background of Mahalia’s life and restaurant is established very well and it is easy to picture her Sweet Tea diner and the food she serves with a true commitment to quality. Enjoyable especially when Mahalia goes out to be detective with sidekicks like sassy Wavonne and her mother.

A delicious entertaining kitchen cosy mystery
