Ashes to Ashes, Crust to Crust
Author: Mindy Quigley
Ashes to Ashes, Crust to Crust is the second book in the Deep Dish Mystery series. I am enjoying this series so far!
The basics: Delilah O'Leary is trying to come up with the perfect Bratwurst pizza to win a local cooking contest but her efforts to create the perfect recipe get interrupted when a customer at the new juice bar in town keels over. Another murder? Can she discover who is spiking smoothies before someone else dies...and still perfect her recipe before the cooking contest?
This second book is even better than the first one! Lots of amateur sleuthing, plenty of suspects, a few twists and turns. And lots of pizza!
I enjoy Delilah as a main character. She's feisty, intelligent and motivated. Plus she makes a great pizza! I like the side characters...especially Butterball the Cat. The background plot of a Deep Dish Pizza restaurant and all the issues Delilah faces to make her new venture a success blends perfectly with the mystery portion of the plot. It doesn't overpower the mystery, but adds a nice flavor to the story. Perfect balance of mystery and pizza pie.
Cute cover art as usual! It made me really crave some pizza!
Moving on to book 3 in this series!
