My ReviewNational bestselling author Lucy Burdette’s intrepid food critic Hayley Snow must sniff out a killer in the ninth Key West Food Critic mystery.Key West food critic Hayley Snow scents-es something fishy when a customer falls stone-crab cold dead on a seafood tasting tour.Thanksgiving is nearly here, and Key West food critic Hayley Snow has just one more assignment to put to bed for Key Zest magazine before she gets to celebrate with her family and her police officer fiancé, Nathan Bransford. Then, just days later, wedding bells will ring—if death doesn’t toll first.The sweet potatoes and stuffing will have to wait when Hayley picks up a distraught phone call from her friend, Analise Smith. On the last stop of a seafood tasting tour run by Analise, one of the customers collapsed—dead. With the police on the verge of shutting down the tour—and ruining Analise’s business—Hayley can hardly refuse her friend’s entreaties to investigate.As if wedding jitters and family strife weren’t enough for Hayley to worry about, there’s crusty pastry chef Martha Hubbard, whose key lime pie may have been the murder weapon—but did she poison her own pie or was she framed? As the hours to Turkey Day tick away, the pressure cooker is on for Hayley to serve up the culprit on a silver platter in A Deadly Feast, national bestselling author Lucy Burdette’s taste-tempting ninth Key West Food Critic mystery.
It was a fun and delightful read, not to be read on an empty stomach, there are so many delicious foods that your mouth is constantly watering.
Hayley Snow is a food critic and is about to marry Detective Nathan Bransford. They need a place to live to wait while they finish the work in their future home, she has to manage the preparations for the wedding and also she is in charge of investigating a strange death occurred at a seafood tasting in which she has participated.
All the characters are well developed. Hayley is an intelligent person, very helpful and generous, always helping everyone, she can't say no.
I love Key West and its restaurants, its descriptions are so vivid that it feels like being there.
Even if it is the ninth book of the series, all the information necessary to read it as a standalone is provided.
A pleasant reading with many subplots, an enchanting setting and appreciable final recipes.
Highly recommended for those who love cozy mysteries
