Praise for the New York Times Bestselling Novel Idea Mysteries“Food fame can come at a price, as Paula Deen, Nigella Lawson, and Martha Stewart can testify. But death?…[A] suspenseful story written with delectable style.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch“Nice plotting for the characters to work with, interesting sub-plots as well, and enough clues to make your head spin.”—Kings River Life Magazine“Inspiration Valley is a town everyone would love to visit, from Walden Woods Circle to the Expresso Yourself Coffee Shop to the Magnolia B&B and everywhere in between. Lucy Arlington has created the perfect setting for this cozy series.”—Escape with Dollycas “Mysteries, books, and food just go hand-in-hand…A charming story.”—Lesa’s Book Critiques“A wonderfully crafted tome that kicked up the suspense a notch as the pages progressed towards a finale worthy of this terrific novel…[A] fabulous series.”—Dru’s Book Musings“This cozy debut…excels at describing bucolic North Carolina. Think Kate Carlisle for her intergenerational ensemble style or Mark de Castrique’s series for regional Tar Heel flavor.”—Library Journal
