More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In her assured debut, Crawford, a caterer with many travel-related articles to her credit, introduces an appealing family trio: tender-hearted Libby Simmons, owner of a catering business, A Little Taste of Heaven, in Longely, N.Y.; her wisecracking sister, Bernie, a refugee from L.A. and a disastrous marriage; and Sean, their wheelchair-bound father, a retired police chief. Nasty Laird Wrenn, a best-selling author of vampire fiction, plans to celebrate his success with appropriate menu (Bloody Marys, devil's food cake) and decor to match (black roses, a coffin) at a reunion dinner to be held at the local high school. When Laird drops dead at the dinner after drinking a glass of water, a slew of ill-wishers, including Libby's close friend Tiffany, whom Laird was stringing along, become suspects in his sudden demise. A naturally flowing narrative, lively and likable characters, and plenty of clever word play amid the foul play set this first novel above the common run of cozies. (Dec. 2) Forecast: Blurbs from established pros-G.A. McKevett, Leslie Meier and Barbara Colley-and an eye-catching cover in Christmas colors will help make this an ideal holiday gift for fans of culinary mysteries.

    I love mysteries. Cozies are my favorite mysteries to read. I'm hooked. Hooked.


    I always enjoy getting my hands on a new series, new author ~ new author to the publishing world or new to me.


    I get a kick out of being the first to scoop up the latest. I consider myself a cozy devotee.


    Sadly, A Catered Murder did zip, zero, nada for me. Nothing. I was bored. I found excuses not to read it. I read other books instead.

    I wondered how on earth this book got published. Did it win a contest? Was it nepotism?


    Was the editor @ Kensington about to embark on a cruise & said, " Oh, what the heck? " or did s/he win the lottery & give them a shot @ making their dream come true?


    I am one of those people who has to finish a book ~ no matter what.


    I am slowly learning to stop being so anal & read the incredible books waiting to be read.


    Instead of slogging through the drivel, I have decided to toss the books I can't digest aside.


    I have allowed myself to read the first 50 pages a` la Oprah, but have come up w/ my own reader meter ~ 25 pages.


    So, what was it about this book that was so foul tasting?


    Ingredients:

    Zzz
    Characters too over the top
    Grammatical errors
    Predictable plot
    Dialogue too problematic to follow
    Typing errors
    Snore Syrup
    Lack of Sense Sauce


    Isis Crawford's previous experience was as a food writer.


    Hmmm... maybe the recipes are worth the read, but I didn't bother. I walked away... ok, sprinted.


    A Catered Murder is the first of the Mystery with Recipes series & just because it isn't for my palate... you may enjoy this serving.
