Review: Tastes Like Murder

Tastes Like Murder by Catherine Bruns
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Sally Muccio’s had her crosses to bear: a cheating ex-boyfriend, crazy Italian parents, and an unfaithful husband, just to name a few. After her divorce, she returns to her hometown to start a novelty cookie shop whose specialties include original fortune cookies, served with a sprinkle of foreshadowing. But there’s no warning when her ex-husband’s mistress drops dead on Sal's porch, and police confirm it’s a homicide. Determined to stop her life from becoming a recipe for disaster, Sal takes matters into her own hands. With two very different men vying for her affection, dead bodies piling up, and a reputation hanging by an apron string, Sal finds herself in a race against time to save both her business and life—before the last cookie crumbles.

My Thoughts:

Cover/Title: The title drew me in as well as the fortune cookie.

Characters: I like Sally & Josie. Mike is ok but a bit possessive. Brian seems too perfect and not very professional for a cop. Sally's parents are a hoot! Her grandmother has to babysit her parents!!

Plot: Sally is starting her life over after a recent divorce. Then her ex-husband's mistress is murdered on her porch. The race is on to find the real killer and save her new business.

Overall: A nice little mystery and a pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning.
