As promised, here's my review.
Hints of an abusive relationship between restauranteur
Starli and her late husband are the focus of this romantic intrigue. When first
introduced, it seemed Starli had a huge chip on her shoulder and was at odds
with many in the town, including her former brother-in-law, a policeman, who
constantly threatens to avenge his sibling’s death. Starli has more on her
plate to deal with as her former head chef abruptly leaves, with an ominous
note “accidentally” left for Starli to find, vandalism and sabotage taking
place in her business, a youngster in the kitchen who thinks she’s management
material, an over-confident, over-the-top knighted British chef stepping in at
the request of her maître d, and a boring confidant banker who wants to be
more. What’s a widow to do?
Book Two of the Appleton, West Virginia Romantic Mysteries
(after Sabotaged Christmas) is a charming follow up. Told in alternating points
of view, Sir Joel tasks himself with uncovering his new boss’s skittish
untrusting persona as he repays his uncle for past kindness in rescuing this
damsel in distress. Starli deals with scary parts of threats and well-meaning
friends and employees who think it’s time she get out and live again after the
death of her terrifying husband. Clues, plenty of red herrings, several twists
all make the reader keep turning pages…and that’s only in the first quarter of
the book. A proposal gone awry, a dreadful accident, and a surprise confession
all bring this sweet and savory story to a satisfactory conclusion.
A huge cast will keep you entertained as well as guessing
and salivating during the courses of Knight in Shining Apron.
