I'm positively swooning over the covers for a lot of these, especially the first two! Great choices--I'm unfamiliar with some of them and that makes it all the more better to discover new reads! xo

DeleteA lot of fictional characters work in the food industry, don't they? I never realized how many until I started thinking about this topic.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these, although I have read -- and enjoyed -- a couple of MacInerney's other foodie mysteries.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
