Can Megan find out who is behind this nefarious crime, All Megan Lee wants is for her reopening of the Pearl Street Kitchen to go well. She wants her mother, Bianca, to approve of the work that she and her best friend Karlie have done in getting the place ready. To make sure that the night goes well, Megan's booked two acts to perform: Anomaly and Electric Madness. However, all of these plans come to a crashing halt when Anomaly member Destinee keels over dead, murdered by poison in her dessert. Can Megan find out who is behind this nefarious crime, and will the mysterious and handsome Max be a help or an added complication? Lori Woods gives the readers a murder mystery in a brief read that takes place in just one night. Even though the novel is relatively short, there are several characters to interest the readers, and hints at a couple possible romances that might develop in further works. A supernatural element exists as well in the house spirits that seem to be aiding Megan in her investigation. It's hard not to enjoy this story, especially as the author has included a recipe for the dessert at the end. (sans poison, of course) There are a lot of characters involved in this story, and a few threads that are introduced but not really developed in this particular story. A good example is the fate of Megan's father, who has disappeared and is presumed dead. I expect the author made the choice to keep the story brief and leave some of these other threads for the next stories at the Pearl Street Kitchen, but I personally tend to like things developed further. There are also several characters to juggle, as I've said, and not all of them have clear voices or motives. Overall, though, this is a fun and quick read for people who like a little mystery in their romance stories. (Independent reviewer for Romance Authors That Rock)

Chaotic thinking I must be honest. I read the first 15 or so pages and had to quit. The thinking is chaotic, characters are introduced and she immediately trusts them., she is old enough to redecorate and re-open a restaurant but the police talk to her mother instead of her? It just doesn't make sense. Chaotic thinking I must be honest. I read the first 15 or so pages and had to quit.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of this book that I received for free. This is a well written mystery read. It is my first cozy mystery and I wondered where the cozy was at times, but there was plenty of mystery to be found. I look forward to reading the second book in the series. A charming read

Good It seemed to be dragged out. Confusing at times or maybe it was me. It just seemed to go on too long. Never thought this with any of your other books. Maybe I liked the characters better in other books. Sorry
