If Mashed Potatoes Could Dance - Country Cooking School Mystery Novel by Paige Shelton | Cozy Culinary Mystery Book for Adults | Perfect for Book Clubs & Rainy Day Reading

I would recommend this book even if you've never read any of Paige Shelton's other books. It works as both a sequel and a stand alone. The creative titles are always tied into the actual story. You won't be disappointed with this book although I found myself having to refer back to previous chapters for characters because I was reading to fast to absorb names and their relationships to one another. Like any good mystery, it never ends the way you thought it would. The strong lead character, Betts, as well as an interesting group of supporting cast members in this book make it hard to put down. Follow Betts and her best friend Jake as they try to unravel a murder that seems to implicate the good-natured Jake and get Betts so curious that she decides to investigate it on her own. You will also like the pre-quel If Fried Chicken Could Fly. Shelton has a similar series of Farmer's Market Mysteries that are also fast, entertaining reads. Both series have mystery mixed with relationships - friends, foes and romantic interests. Take a chance and come find out why the town of Broken Rope is so infamous. You'll be glad you stopped in to witness a little of what makes the town such a hopping tourist attraction.
