My Review:
One of my favorite genres is cozy mysteries ( and I always love a little romance in books... ) and this cozy has both!
I really enjoyed the characters in this book, and the "small town" feel of the story.
As Trixie is getting settled into her "new" home, that her Aunt gives her, she is also becoming acquainted with the "Silver Bullet Diner" that has been in her family for a long time.
Trixie has alot of recipes that were handed down thru the family, and she is anxious to try them out at the Diner. But, she also needs to help solve the murder, and to help clear her name off of the murder suspect list!
I thought Trixie was a hard working and smart lady, ( and she's quickly learning the way that the waitresses call out the orders at the Diner ).
Plus...she becomes friends with Deputy Ty Brisco, ( who is also a local cowboy,) and all the ladies think that he is very cute!...including Trixie!
** One of my favorite sentences in the book...
"Call me Ty". With his drawl, those three simple words, lasted forever. His smile was warm and infectious.
Included in the back of the book are some recipes and a sneak peak at "A Second Helping of Murder" ( the second book in this series )
Visit the authors website for a list of several recipes from
"The Silver Bullet Diner"!
Im looking forward to reading the 2nd book in this series, due out next year!

ReplyDeleteThis sure sounds like an enjoyable book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, Melissa! The book sounds "delicious" (sorry, lol!). Diners, food, romance....what's not to love? My favorite diner food might be just a good old fashioned hamburger with french fries. :)
