Leslie Karst has started a new murder mystery series involving a restaurant and cooking.
This is not the first novel in the series so I will have to go back and read her earlier mysteries.
Sally Solari has inherited a restaurant which I know I will find out the story behind that in an earlier plot. Now she signing . the papers to become a co owner with her head chef and keep the restaurant going. This time a long forgotten relative is murdered and her newly discovered cousin needs a place to stay while the house is a crime scene.
Her cousin Evelyn comes to live with her and together they try to uncover who is behind the murder of Evie's mother's death. Though it looks like a suicide Evie is sure her mother would not do that and leave her.
This is a bit of a formula mystery and a bit slow moving, but still entertaining enough that I read through to the end. There are also discussions about Italian food and restaurant kitchens that keep the pace of the book moving.
At the end there are a few of the recipes for dishes referred to in the story. They do look good.
