I am happy to host the cover for the third book in the “Cook-Off” mystery series from Kensington, coming June 25, 2019.
Title: Guilty As Charred
Genre: Culinary Cozy Mystery
Author Website: devonpdelaney.com
Book Synopsis
Sherry Oliveri has attained celebrity status after winning the America’s Good Taste Recipe Contest with her delectable New England Crab Cake Sliders. But now that she’s back home in Connecticut, she’s got to deal with something else fishy.
Sherry’s making a guest appearance on a local radio show when the news comes in: Poppy Robinson has been found dead in the town’s community garden. Sherry was supposed to be taking questions about her win in the national cooking competition, but instead the callers start dishing dirt.
Poppy and Sherry were both involved in the vegetable garden, and while Poppy may have been a bit priggish, it wasn’t anything that called for a shovel to the back of the head. There was already trouble brewing, with the owner of the land threatening to renege on their agreement, and this murder has taken tensions to a new level. Now while Sherry’s organizing a Fourth of July cook-off event, she’s also got a murder investigation on her plate.

About the author
Devon Delaney, a southern New England resident, taught computer education and Lego Robotics for over ten years, prior to becoming a mystery writer. She has been handsomely rewarded for her hobby of cooking contesting over the last twenty-plus years. Among the many prizes she has won are a full kitchen of major appliances, five-figure top cash prizes and four trips to Disney World. She also won the grand prize in a national writing contest for my ‘foodie’ poem “Ode to Pork Passion.” Combining her cooking contesting experience with her enthusiasm for mysteries was inevitable.
All comments are welcomed.
I love the cover and the title. This is a fun series…looking forward to reading Guilty as Charred. I am not entering the contest because I have already read Expiration Date.
Oh wow!!!
Thank you for the giveaway……
This book sounds like fireworks are in store, and I’d be delighted to win a copy and discover “whodunit”!
I love cooking murders. So please enter me in the giveaway. BTW I love the cover also.
Cooking, gardening and the solving of a murder? Sounds like a grand time to me!
Great cover & sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for the post & giveaway.
This book looks great, can’t wait to read it. Thanks for the giveaway.
This cover is adorable. I love the lighthouse in the background.
The cover for this book is beautiful! Sounds like the book itself will be fast paced and full of controversy. I can’t help but wonder why the landowner would want their land back in the middle of the growing season of a gardener’s limited season. I have to admit I am intrigued and would love to win a copy of this book to answer all my questions. Thanks for the chance!
Love all the little details on the book cover! I’d love to win this book!
