Pressing the Issue cover


Synopsis:

As the annual Renaissance Fair comes to Crystal Cove, Jenna Hart’s Cookbook Nook is packed with tasty treats and all things medieval, while her pal Bailey is ready to swoon over her upcoming nuptials at a local vineyard. But when the two friends discover the body of the vineyard’s owner bludgeoned by a winepress, all their merriment fades, along with their hopes for a vintage year.
Which churlish varlet did the deed? Was it the victim’s errant brother, who stood to inherit the vineyards? Or the owner’s crestfallen ex-girlfriend? Mayhap it was the newly arrived comely wench, or her jealous husband. Fie on them all! Verily, Jenna can’t rest until justice is served, and she vows to track down the killer. But can she sniff out the truth before the villainous culprit strikes again? 
Includes tantalizing recipes!

Review:

I had to include this book today, as it features a Renaissance Fair as the prime story line and backdrop, allowing for MUCH 'faire speak', taking the reader back to merry olde England! So it's a great book for Mom to read, as the kids listen to Wulf! 

This is book 6 of the  Cookbook Nook Mystery series, but the first I had read,but it won't be the last! Jenna and her friends and family are as chaming as her town and bookshop! Add in a fun little mystery to solve, as well as a few personal crisises and you have a fun chick lit cozy mystery series. If you are looking for a fun new series that is a quick read, add this one to your Spring reading list!
