Killer Takeout

 In Lucy Burdette's Killer Takeout, the 7th installment in the Key West Food Critic Culinary Cozy Mystery series, this new caper is twisted like a hurricane to leave you guessing. It all started when Hayley Snow witnessed a catfight between two women before the annual Fantasy Fest. After it had broken up, they had a Zombie Apocalypse Parade when one of the zombies got sick and died. Now it was up to Hayley to find out what caused Caryn Bruckman's death and who did it and why. And she had to clear her friend and fellow coworker Danielle's name and getting a closer look on who Caryn was, and what type of person she was outside the royal court. While this is happening, Hayley's uncertain with her relationship with Nathan, a hurricane to steamroll through the Key West area, and her mother and future FIL plan to tie the knot. When she gets closer to the ice-cold truth, it's after the eye of the storm and learns whodunit before it might be too late.

 This was another fantastic culinary cozy that takes place during hurricane season in Key West, Florida. It's idyllic and mesmerizing for the location and the gripping scenic scenes. I loved how Hayley is a food critic for a local e-zine that features cover stories around the Keys. I cared about her and how she would get down to the heart of the matter to help a friend out and to be supportive of her mother's remarriage to a great guy for her stepfather. I loved how the houseboat community came together to pitch in before and after the storm, locals and tourists alike. She's real down-to-earth and a trooper. The theme of the story is don't carry a grudge when your actions will speak for itself.

If you love great culinary cozies that have recipes for you to try at home with non-stop action, plenty of drama, lots of suspense, and hints of mystery, you'll love Killer Takeout.
